The first generation Ford F-Series is a series of pickup trucks and commercial vehicles manufactured by Ford. Introduced in late 1947, the F-Series was Ford's first post-war truck design. The first generation F-Series will remain in production until 1952. F-Series trucks are assembled in sixteen different Ford factories. The serial number shows the model of truck, engine, year, assembly plant, and unit number. The most common model is the F-1 with a 6 ½ foot bed followed by the F-2 and F-3 Express models with an 8 foot (2.4 m) bed.

Design
The first F-Series truck (known as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in late 1947 (went on sale January 16, 1948) in lieu of a pre-war Ford truck. It has a flat windshield, one piece, and integrated headlights. That's a bigger cab. Choices include "See-Clear" glass washer (operated by foot plunger), windshield wiper & amp; sun visor, and passenger side rear lights. The F-1 truck is also available with additional chrome trim and two horns as an option. All F-series are available with optional "Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive" until 1959.
The F-Series truck design changed from 1950 to 1954. From 1948 to 1950, roasting was a series of horizontal bars and headlights fitted to the fenders. For 1951 and 1952, the headlamps were connected by wide aerodynamic cross pieces with the same three aerodynamic supports. The rear window is wider on these trucks and the redesigned dashboard. The new cabin is called "Five Star Cab".
