Produced from 1947 for the 1948 model year through 1952, the original F-Series line was offered with the venerable flathead engine. Named after the flat cylinder head, the side-valve V8 was replaced by the Y-block engine family in the 1950s in the American and Canadian markets. 23 photos
Listed on Bring a Trailer with seven days of bidding left, this F-1 still features a 239 flathead instead of a more contemporary V8 powerplant. The 3.9-liter motor was
