Book excerpt: Get Fords complete story in Ford Tough: 100 Years of Ford Trucks and see why they’ve dominated the truck market, selling 1.5 million trucks every year in the US alone. In July 1917 Ford Motor Company introduced a one-ton chassis for commercial trucks, marking what many historians feel was its official entry into the dedicated truck business. Sure, after-market pickup beds could be added to a Model T car to convert it to a pickup, but with the debut of the rugged Model TT truck chassis, Ford was firmly in the truck market. Eight years later, Ford introduced its first factory-produced pickup, a sturdy half-ton job the public loved. During the century that has passed since that first Ford truck chassis, the F-series has become the best-selling truck in the world, and the best-selling vehicle of any type in America. Ford Tough: 100 Years of Ford Trucks tells the entire Ford truck story from the very beginning, when Ford got its start in truck production. This book provides the history of the wide array of models Ford has built over the past century, including the Model A roadster pick-up, stylish 81C pickups, legendary 1948 F-1, Bronco, Courier, Ranchero, and Econoline.

Book excerpt: Ford Trucks is a richly illustrated chronicle that celebrates a century of Ford trucks. From the Model TT to the 2017 F-150, it's a hundred-year story of marketing savvy, bold design, and engineering innovation. You'll find expert commentary plus many rare images from the Ford archives in this hardcover book. 144 pages Follow the story from the World War I era, when Ford made ambulances, through the prosperity of the Twenties and the subsequent Depression. During World War II, Ford was a major military-truck supplier, and then stepped right back into civilian production at war's end. The company's first modern light-duty truck, the F-1, bowed for 1948 and was a sensation. Ford built on that success with larger entries in the light-duty line, and also with heavy-duty jobs that dominated America's highways for decades. Ford eventually concentrated on the lucrative and growing light-truck segment. The car-based Ranchero had been a huge hit in 1957, and Ford progressed to an increasingly better F-150 and also scored with Ranger, Bronco, Explorer, Escape, and others. Today, the company fields a full line of light trucks, sport-utes, and crossover vehicles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn about the entire history of America’s best-selling vehicle: the Ford F-Series truck. When Henry Ford first started manufacturing Model Ts more than 100 years ago, he didn’t really have any sort of pickup or truck configuration in mind. However, enterprising people and businesses were modifying those early chassis for commercial use, and it didn’t take long for Ford to figure out that there was a demand for a truck application of the Model T. Soon, Ford was making its own configurations for commercial use, first through third-party body companies and eventually by Ford itself with the Model TT. From these humble beginnings, Ford stumbled onto the basis for one of the most popular vehicles ever built: the Ford F-Series pickup truck. In Ford F-Series Trucks: 1948–Present, authors Jimmy Dinsmore and James Halderman thoroughly dissect the history of Ford F-Series pickup trucks as seen from a technical viewpoint. Fully covered are all the options, chassis specifications, running changes, and the evolution of these trucks, as they transformed from postwar utilitarian vehicles to the best-selling luxury family cruisers seen today. Not only are Ford trucks the best-selling trucks, they are the best-selling vehicle of any category, cars included. This book will thrill truck aficionados and Ford historians alike, as it covers the first F-Series models (1948–1952), the ever-popular second-generation F-Series models (1953–1956), the popular Bumpsides (1967–1972), and all the way through the remarkable technology of what is now the 14th generation of the F-Series.
