1948-66 Pickups

In January of 1948 a legend was born when Ford introduced its F-Series line of light trucks. With a bold new look, extra-tough chassis and durable sheet metal, these trucks forever changed our minds about what a pickup truck should be. Currently approaching the end of its seventh decade of production, more than 34 million of the F-Series legends have rolled off the assembly line. As the best selling American made vehicle of all time, these trucks have obviously won the hearts of pickup lovers worldwide. The earlier generations of these pickups, the F-1 and F-100 series are now experiencing a revival in popularity. They are now sought after to be reborn in a variety of different forms, from concours perfect restorations to wild and whimsical street rods. Heck, some are even being revived simply to be the daily driver workhorses they started out as all those years ago. A Legend is Born

Where it all began - a beautiful 1948 F-1 Pickup displayed by Ford at their 2014 SEMA show booth in Las Vegas.

Bob’s F-100 Pickup

Here’s Bob with his own 1956 Ford F-100 Pickup. He picked this beauty up at the Turlock, California swap meet for $700 about 15 years ago. Bob says the red 6 cylinder truck started right up, so he decided to drive her home to Grants Pass. The pickup made the 425 mile journey up through the Siskiyou Mountains to home with just a couple of minor maintenance stops along the way.
