The F-Series traces its origin to 1948. This was the first post-war truck that Ford produced. The model represented Ford’s break from the car chassis to a new and dedicated truck platform. The models were assembled at 16 different factories. The first generation of the F-Series models production run continued through to 1952. The truck featured a "Million Dollar Cab" (it cost $1 million to design and tool). Ford said it had "Living-Room" comfort, and it was much higher and wider than before, ...and better fitted. Styling was classier and cleaner, and the Ford six and V-8 engines were available. The 1951 Ford pickup also introduced a new front end. The smiling horizontal-bar grille and inboard headlamps were gone, replaced by a single-bar grille with three massive "teeth." Along with a wraparound front bumper, this gave Ford trucks a more aggressive frontal appearance. Fenders of the 1951 Ford pickup were revised to house this new grille-work, and headlamps moved farther outboard. Being somewhat taller, those fenders allowed the hood to adopt a flatter, more modern appearance. Ford accentuated this smoother look with a low air scoop in the lower front of the hood, replacing the high "nostrils" of the 1948-1950 design.
