The first-generation F-Series truck running from 1948 Model Year to 1952 (known as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in late 1947 (going on sale January 16, 1948), replacing Ford trucks introduced in 1941. It had a flat, one-piece windshield and integrated headlamps.It had a wider cab. Options included the "See-Clear" windshield washer (operated by foot plunger), passenger-side windshield wiper & sun visor, and Passenger-side taillight. The F-1 truck was also available with additional stainless steel trim and two horns as an option. All F-series were available with optional "Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive" until 1959.
For 1950, the standard three-speed shift was relocated from the floor to the steering column mid-year. Additionally the bed lost it's structural indents, becoming smooth sided, and the tailgate chain brackets were now welded to the roll instead of inside it. These changes were kept through the 1952 Model Year.
