Happy Birthday F-Series

A guy over on the Barn mentioned the importance of today's date, and I thought I'd pass it along. Ford introduced the F-1 to the public on this day 65 years ago. Thus began the greatest line of trucks of all time.

Almost as old as me but not as good looking when I got on my Sponge Bobs.

Come on Gary, if you wouldn't have been parading around at Doc's with the Sponge Bobs no one would have said a thing. You really started it all



I guess this blows the myth that "What happens at Truckstock stays at Truckstock".

BTW, I wonder if Ford will have a window sticker to commerate this mile stone. I got one for the 50th.



I have it in corner of my F-2's window. It was kind of neat. I drove the F-2 to the local Ford dealer to buy it and while standing at the parts counter a salesman walked up to me and asked if I owned the F-2 and handed me a reflective poster like this one.
