Ford's half-ton pickup from 1953 until the early 1980s. The first, built from 1953 to 1956 with its rounded cab and, on the last of them, a wraparound screen, is one of the most popular trucks in hot rodding. Later generations brought Twin I-Beam front suspension in 1965, and the F-150 eventually took its place.
