1948 Ford F-1
The origins of the Ford F-150 stretch back all the way to the Model T. In 1917 Ford released the Model TT, a dedicated truck with heavy duty construction.
Jumping forward to 1948 would see the first F-Series models launched, with Ford creating a new chassis specifically for truck use. A one-piece windshield, integrated headlights, and even optional windshield washers made it considerably advanced for the time.
