Acme 1:18 1970 Ford F-350 Ramp Truck: FoMoCo Ford Parts

In production since 1948, the F-Series includes full-size pickup trucks, chassis cab trucks, and commercial vehicles. As of 2019 production, the Ford F-Series includes the F-150 pickup, Class 3-5 Super Duty trucks (F-250 through F-550), and the Class 6-8 Super Duty trucks (F-650, F-750). The most popular version of the F-Series is the F-150, now in its thirteenth generation.

The F-Series has been the best-selling pickup truck in the United States since 1977 and the best-selling vehicle since 1986; it is also the best selling vehicle in Canada. As of the 2018 model year, the F-Series generates $41 billion in annual revenue for Ford, making the brand more valuable than Coca-Cola and Nike.

In 1999, to bridge the gap between its pickup line and its medium-duty trucks, Ford introduced the F-250 and F-350 as Super Duty trucks. Considered an expansion of the F-Series, the Super Duty line is built on a distinct chassis architecture with heavier-duty components. In 2000, the Super Duty range was expanded to include Ford medium-duty trucks.

At various times, Ford has marketed the F-Series across all three of its divisions in North America. Mercury sold the F-Series as the M-Series from 1948 to 1968 in its Canadian sales network (alongside the Econoline and medium-duty trucks); during the 2000s, Lincoln sold the Blackwood and later the Mark LT.

Introduced in 1967, the fifth generation F-series pickup was built on the same platform as the 1965 revision of the fourth generation. Dimensions and greenhouse glass were increased, engine options expanded, and plusher trim levels became available during the fifth generation's production run.

Suspension components from all 1969 F-Series models are completely interchangeable.

Perhaps the most rare of this series is the Heavy Duty Special, often confused with the Camper Special. However, the Heavy Duty Special is a 1/2 T with upgraded heavy duty parts such as Firestone overload rear leaf mounts, larger brake drums and axles.

A variant of the fifth generation F-series was produced until 1992 in Brazil for the South American market.
