Marmon-Herrington was a builder of Trucks Buses and Trolleybuses, best known for its All-wheel-drive conversions to other truck maker's units
Design of the F-Series truck changed little from 1948 to 1952. From 1948-1950, the grill was a series of horizontal bars and the headlights were set into the fenders. For 1951 and 1952, the headlights were connected by a wide aerodynamic cross piece with three similarly aerodynamic supports. The rear window was wider in the later trucks and the dashboard was redesigned.
F-series trucks were built at sixteen different Ford plants. Ford Motor Company is an American Multinational corporation and the world's fourth largest automaker based on Worldwide vehicle sales, following Serial numbers indicate the truck model, engine, year, assembly plant, and unit number.

A V8 engine is a V engine with eight cylinders mounted on the Crankcase in two banks of four cylinders in most cases set at a right angle to each other In 1968, federal regulations required all automotive manufacturers to add side marker reflectors or lights, so Ford redesigned the hood emblems to incorporate reflectors. [3] [4]The same year the trucks received larger versions of Ford's FE engine family with the introduction of the 360 and 390 cubic inch engines which are among the smallest class of Big Block Motors. A cubic inch (plural cubic inches) is a non- SI unit of Volume, equal to the volume of a Cube with sides of one Inch. Also changed for 1968 were the heater controls, arm rests, interior door handles and window cranks, and the upper trim moulding on models so equipped. Rear side marker reflectors were also added to the lower bed side panels in 1968, per government regulations. The 302 V8 became an option in late '69. The top trim for 1970 was now named Ranger XLT with Ranger, Sport Custom and Custom rounding off the rest of the line. The fifth generation bodies were noted for durability and simplicity of design making them a favorite for restoration.
Some trucks came with an outer flush mounted bed side compartment/tool box on the passenger side only. Trucks from the Fifth Generation can be identified as to year model by their year specific grille arrangements.
After the 1968 models, Ford discontinued the "Low GVWR" versions. A gross vehicle weight rating ( GVWR) is the maximum allowable total Weight of a Road Vehicle or trailer when loaded - i
Still available was the Camper Special option, along with the new Explorer Special (a trim package), Contractor's Special(including a behind the seat toolbox and 3/4 ton (F-250) suspension), Farm and Ranch Special, and Heavy-Duty Special. Most of these "specials" from 1967-72 were made in relatively low numbers and are now becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
The fifth-generation F-series was introduced in Brazil in 1971, which remained in production until circa 1992 [5] with a slight redesign and changes in its motorizations. |utc_offset = -2 to -4 |time_zone_DST = BRST |utc_offset_DST = -2 to -5 |cctld

The truck was redesigned in 1973. The Ford 335 engine family were a group of small-block V8 engines built by the Ford Motor Company between 1970 and 1982 A V8 engine is a V engine with eight cylinders mounted on the Crankcase in two banks of four cylinders in most cases set at a right angle to each other The grille for the 1973 model year featured two silver-metallic plastic inserts divided by an aluminum bar that was part of the main grille frame, with the letters "F O R D" spaced out in a thin rail in the upper part of the grille. Large round headlights were on either side of the grille with the park/turn signal lamps placed above in the same rail where the "FORD" lettering was. In 1976, this familiar "split-grille" design was facelifted slightly to feature black accents around the headlights and a refined appearance overall. In 1978, the round headlight design was retained for the regular Ranger and Custom trim levels. The XLT and "Lariat" trim level incorporated rectangular headlights with optional chrome headlight doors and chrome grille insert. The split grille design was overhauled in favor of a single-piece grille insert design. The headlights were also placed in a more stylized "insert" themselves, and the park/turn signal lamps were now placed below the headlights. A luxury Lariat trim was also introduced for 1978. In 1979, the round headlights were replaced by rectangular headlamps across all the trim levels and the surrounding grille insert that framed the headlamps was now available in either black, or chrome to match that of the aluminum grille frame. Additionally, an optional chrome-plated "F O R D" letterset could now be seen on the hood immediately above the grille.
In 1973, a new model was offered, the F350 SRW (single rear wheel) pickup. These were a new heavy duty pickup with contractors and camping enthusiasts in mind. The trucks rode on a longer wheel base chassis but were the same overall length as an F250 pickup. If you ordered the Camper Special package on an F350 SRW it became a Super Camper Special which was designed for the much heavier slide-in campers coming on the market at that time. Other changes included the 1974 introduction of the extended super cab version. A pickup truck is a light Motor vehicle with an open-top rear cargo area which is almost always separated from the cab to allow for chassis flex when carrying or pulling The F-150 was introduced in 1975 to help circumvent coming emissions requirements. These came with a maximum payload of 2,275 lb (1,032 kg) when properly equipped. With the 1/2 ton F-100 still in production, the new F-150 was referred to as the "heavy half" ton by some people.
In 1976, the F-series became the best-selling truck in America, a position it has continued to hold since. This generation is noted for the durability of the body panels as Ford used extensive amounts of galvanized sheet metal to fight corrosion. 1977 was the first year for smaller cowl insignias moved near the windshield and the last year for the medium-duty F-500.
The GVRW ratings for these trucks was tied to a combination of wheel, spring, axle and brake combinations. The series code on the ID tag denote which model and from that it can be determined what weight rating each vehicle is as there is quite a range for some models. 4X4 trucks can also be identified by the VIN number and on the ID plate as a serial number beginning F10 is an F100 2 wheel drive but an F11 is an F100 4X4. F25/F26 etc. . . Also note that serial numbers beginning with an X are SuperCab models

It was also the Ford's first use of an independent front suspension on 4X4 models. The Ranger trim line was dropped from the F-Series in 1982, since that name was to be applied to the new Ford Ranger compact pickup, which replaced the Ford Courier mini-pickup line. Ford Ranger is a name used on two distinct compact Pickup truck lines by the Ford Motor Company and by a marketing arrangement with Mazda The Ford Courier was the first American compact Pickup truck, sold in North America from 1972-1982 Trim options were now XL, XLS, XLT, and XLT Lariat. In 1982 the letters F-O-R-D were removed from the hood and a blue oval logo appeared on the grille
The big-block 460 CID V8 was dropped for 1980, but added again in 1983 along with the 6.

The 5. 0L V8 switched over to fuel injection, first as an option in 1985 and then altogether in 1986.
The new Essex V6 was added in 1982, but dropped after 1983 and the 300 inline six continued as the standard engine through the series. See also Ford Essex V6 engine (UK The Ford Essex V6 engine was a 90° V6 engine family built by Ford Motor Company at the A V6 engine is a V engine with six cylinders mounted on the Crankcase in two banks of three cylinders
The F-100 was dropped as the base model at the end of 1983 and the now-familiar F-150 took its place as the base model F-Series truck for 1984. This generation also saw extensive use of galvanized body panels to fight corrosion which is now gaining them popularity among restorers.
The various changes that occurred between the 1981 and 1982 model years were accompanied by a slight cosmetic change- 1980-81 trucks have a plain grille with "FORD" spelled across the front of the hood in chrome letters, similar to the previous model. 1982-86 models had the letters removed, and a Ford blue oval placed in the center of the grille. This made the 1982 the first model year to feature a blue oval on the front, something that has been on every model that followed it. [6] Also this generation saw many trim levels: 1980-1981: CUSTOM-This was the base model with manual locks/windows, vinyl seat and black rubber floor mat. RANGER- The intermediate trim level that added a color keyed floor mat, some extra chrome, and woodtone dash trim. RANGER XLT- A step up from the RANGER that added nicer seat trim, a color keyed headliner, color keyed carpeting, aluminum tailgate trim and optional power windows/locks. RANGER LARIAT- a step above the XLT that added a plusher interior. 1982-1986: STANDARD- basically the same as the CUSTOM of the 1980-1981 years. XL- this is basically a new name for the intermediate RANGER trim level for 1982 as the name "RANGER" is now used for Ford's new compact truck. XLS- a new for '82 trim level that featured a blacked out brille, bumpers and headlight trim. It also featured a stripe graphics package and black and silver dash trim. Available exterior colors were red and black. XLT LARIAT- the top of the line truck for '82 which featured floor carpeting, color keyed headliner, a standard chrome grille, and optional power windows/door locks. In 1985 the tailgate trim was changed to a "flat" full width aluminum with a red "reflector" towards the bottom with chrome FORD letters.
In Mexico, there is an "F-200" which was introduced in 1976. The United Mexican States ( or commonly Mexico (ˈmɛksɪkoʊ () is a federal constitutional Republic in North America. This variant remained until 1991.

The 1987 design was more streamlined, and maintenance items were made simpler. Rear antilock brakes were now standard, and the first truck to boast this. An anti-lock braking system, or ABS (from the German, A nti' b' lockier' s' ystem) is a safety system on Motor vehicles The manual transmission was revised with five speeds in 1988, and the flareside box was dropped.

Four wheel drive improvements included the addition of automatic locking hubs for the F-150 in 1989, and for the rest in 1991. Starting in 1980 (to 1996), Ford offered a four-wheel-drive swing arm independent front suspension called Twin-Traction Beam, or TTB. Based on its I-beam suspension from the mid '60s, Ford mounted a Dana differential in the driver-side (front) axle beam and transmitted torque to the passenger-side wheel with a double U-jointed axleshaft. Radius arms and coil springs were still used on the F-150's, while the four-wheel-drive F-250s and F-350s got leaf springs. The 5. 0 L (302 CID) truck also had an optional "Touch Drive" electronic transfer case. Custom, XL, XLT, and XLT Lariat were the trim options available. Towards the end of this generation, there was the addition of the behind cab cargo light.
The "F-Super Duty" (which is exactly what the front fender badges stated) models appeared from 1987 to 1997. They were basically an F-450. They were used mostly for wreckers/tow trucks but also used in ambulances and various commercial/industrial vehicles. They were labeled on the door sticker as an 'incomplete vehicle' (chassis cab) due to the fact that there was no bed installed and an aftermarket bed (specific to its future use) was added after the truck's initial build date. It came with dual fuel tanks that included an in dash mounted toggle switch to select between the 'Front' & 'Rear' tanks while using only the one fuel gauge. It came with a PTO (Power Take-Off) used to power attachments (like winches or a dump bed) from the transmission. They were rated at approx 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). A gross vehicle weight rating ( GVWR) is the maximum allowable total Weight of a Road Vehicle or trailer when loaded - i They came with either the standard 7. 5 L (460 CID) gas V8 or the optional 7. 3 L (445 CID) diesel V8. All wheels were 10-lug with DRW (Dual Rear Wheels). This model should not to be confused with the "Super Duty" commercial line of trucks starting with the 1999 model year.

Ford took the aero styling to its conclusion for 1997 with an extremely round nose on the new F-series. The regular F-250 (light duty) was basically an F-150 with the same body panels but with heavy duty axles and suspension, along with odd 7 lug wheels. The F-250 HD (Heavy Duty) was considered in the same series as the F-350. With the arrival of the all new "Super Duty" series in early 1998, but labeled the 1999 model, the standard F-250 ('light duty'), F-250HD (Heavy Duty), & F-350 line was totally dropped and the F-250 (light duty) was offered as the "7700" package for the F-150 (noted on the tailgate emblem).
