1948 FORD BONUS-BUILT (a rather odd name) was the first-generation F-Series truck going on sale January 16, 1948. Ford's new 'Bonus-Built' trucks were completely different from the car-based trucks they replaced. They had new integrated headlights, a one-piece windshield for increased visibility and larger cabs. They were powered by a 226 cubic inch flat-head 6 producing 95hp (71kW) at 3300rpm and sold in eight different weight ratings all sharing the same cab design with exception to the bus chassis and parcel-delivery vehicle.
