Introduced in 1948, Ford's new F-Series trucks quickly won the hearts of thousands of buyers.
With only mild styling changes and mechanical upgrades, the basic 1948 design lasted through the 1956 model year. Today, because of their immense popularity, Ford continues to produce F-Series trucks, but the first models will always be remembered as "the classics".
This book celebrates all the pickups, sedan deliveries, medium-duty trucks, over-the-road heavy-duty rigs and rare Canadian Mercury trucks that made the F-Series famous.
Also highlighted are fabulous customised trucks that have received hand-built modifications
and personalised features.
Year-by-year model histories and changes, technical details, interviews with retired designers and engineers, beautiful colour photos of restored and customised trucks, archival black & white pictures and period advertisements all illustrate this great period of Ford truck producton.
If you love Ford trucks, this book is a "must".
