Ford’s F-Series are arguably the most popular range of trucks in the United States of America, with a history dating back to 1948 and spanning fourteen generations to date. How did it all start? Way back in 1948, the first F-Series marked the divergence of Ford’s car and truck businesses, and was also known as the Ford Bonus-Built. Available as a two-door pickup or four-door panel truck, the F-Series quickly gained a reputation for being tough and workmanlike. This is a resto-modded 1949 Ford F-3 302ci from Texas with just 75 post-restoration miles. F-3 signifies that it’s a ¾ ton truck with a heavy-duty rating. If classic Ford trucks are your thing, step right this way!
Ford reportedly spent a million dollars on research and development in the cab of the first-generation F-Series as they were determined to provide a more comfortable and spacious experience than the competition. This 1949 Ford F-3 302ci proudly displays that cab and overall design in attractive blue paintwork rolling on white-wall tires and gunmetal-gray off-road style rims. All lights and chrome bits look good, and new door sill scuff plates are present too. The interior features a mix of body-colored panels and brown trim, particularly the brown bench seat and a brown rimmed steering wheel that’s attached to a modern steering column with tilt and telescoping function. The steering wheel and horn button have reportedly been replaced too, as has a driver-side window vent during the restoration. A period-look modern Ford radio sits in the dash too.
This 1949 Ford F-3 302ci get’s it go-factor from a 302ci (5.0L) V8 small-block crate engine coupled to a 5-speed T5 manual transmission with pressure plate, flywheel, and pedal modification done. A new oil pressure gauge, electric cooling fan, and additional fan as well for enhanced cooling are present.

It’s also reported that the crate engine was installed complete with pulleys, carb, headers, water pump, fuel pump, alternator, distributor, plugs, wires belts, and hoses. A dual exhaust setup lets the engine exhale a bit better, and also emit more of that lovely V8 rumble.

The Ford F-Series is a legendary nameplate that continues to this day. In addition to pickup trucks, the F-Series is also known for panel vans and cab chassis trucks too. Naturally, it makes an excellent platform to build a custom vehicle, such as this 1952 Ford F-3 Custom that's up for sale with us right now. This is a build like no other and is still a blank canvas in the sense that you can choose what you'd like to do with its cavernous rear space. Let's discover more about this unique vehicle.
One of the most prominent postwar trucks in Ford F-Series, also known as "Bonus Built" lineup was the 1951 pickup. Although not having the most handsome appearance by today's standards, being the first version of the Ford F-Series, it also represented the first generation of "true" trucks that were not based on a prior car platform. First-generation models come in eight variations starting with the lightest capacity, the F-1, and the F-8 being the version with the maximum capacity. The lineup included trucks ranging from half-ton pickups to three-ton commercial haulers, making it the most varied in Ford truck history. Today, classic truck collectors find little to no examples of this generation of trucks, at least in acceptable condition. In the realm of today’s truck collectors, it’s not easy to stop one of these as well, a 1951 Ford F3 Pickup. Located in Michigan, it bundles a joyful attitude and awaits its next buyer.

The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a timeless classic that will forever dazzle this world with its legendary design and rich history. The success of this first generation Mustang is also the reason why the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Challenger were brought to life; these were truly the golden days of the Ford Mustang, asserting itself as the main player in the new “pony” car market. With only a total of 72,119 convertible units produced in 1966, it makes this model quite rare compared to the coupe and fastback models. The iconic pony's interior makes this particular example even more rare, with embossed running horses on the seatbacks, a five-gauge instrument cluster, and deluxe door panels with wood-grain accents. Clocking a total of just 33,000 miles on the odometer, this 1966 Ford Mustang is the perfect machine to cruise around with the convertible top down.
