From the home page, under f-series truck" why not have the trucks listed by generation? I know it is now- at least to "pre-1997" but everyone from 1st to 9th generation is lumped into a "catch all" catagory. Maybe it cant be done due to band width concerns...... just curious.


1 First generation (1948–1952)
2 Second generation (1953–1956)
3 Third generation (1957–1960)
4 Fourth generation (1961–1966)
5 Fifth generation (1967–1972)
6 Sixth generation (1973–1979)
7 Seventh generation (1980–1986)
8 Eighth generation (1987–1991)
9 Ninth generation (1992–1996/1997)
10 Tenth generation (1997–2004)
11 Eleventh generation (2004–2008)
12 Twelfth generation (2009–present)

then maybe just a picture of the grill/ front end for each gen...

 

wouldnt be enough posts in each subforum to make it worth it.

 

See your answer here, since you originally posted it here instead of where it was moved to.

Fair enough, and thanks

 

Ahhhh said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw....

I wondered where it went, and couldnt find my post under my "last posts" so I began to question wether I hit the "send".... It was a long day, and thanks for not blasting me....

 

Just to make this interesting, 11th gen is the best.

 

More 10th gens on the road

 

12th gen is a higher number

 

And all, aspire to be as perfect as the 9th generation.

 

But, the fat fenders of the 2nd generation make it the sexiest of the bunch.

 

The first generation is the most special - I may own one some day.

It's too bad this idea does not work out, because I like the way it lists out each generation year. Very informative to new visitors. Bookmark.

 

10th Gen FTW!

and yes, I'm willing to bet that even Ford thinks the 9th gen is the best, lol.

I have a small gripe about how you set some of these "generations" apart. My feeling is what you call the 7th, 8th, and 9th generation trucks are actually all one generation as the cabs are all identical. You can unbolt and bolt on all the body panels and engine packages without cutting. All the body lines are the same and the only real differences are the lips on the fenders and bedsides and the grille/headlight area. Same with the 11th and 12th.

5 and 6 are basically the same also and not much different from the 7-9's

 

Nope 5 and 6 are different. The 67-72's are "bumpsides" because the bodyline is raised, the 73-79 are "dentsides" because they have a concave bodyline. The frame length is also different so that you cannot interchange beds or front sheetmetal. The engines and tranny packages are the same and there is some interchangability in the front suspension but you have to go with the whole package when you do (meaning you need to swap springs, I beams and trailing arms when you upgrade the bumpside suspension to dentside stuff for things like power brakes and power steering)
