Ford Semi Truck Parts & Accessories

Although the debut of the first commercial vehicles by Ford dates back to 1905, it wasn't until 1917 that the company officially ventured into the truck business. It was the year when the 1-ton chassis entered production, equipped with a stake body and intended for internal use. The chassis design that followed, this time available to the public, was the Ford Model TT based on the famous Model T (1917) and the Ford Model AA that came to replace it in 1928. Both models were available as chassis cabs. An even more capable Model BB was introduced in 1933, widely used as a freight vehicle, ambulance, or stake truck. In a couple of years, the 1935 Model 50 saw the world, powered by Ford's legendary Flathead V8.

By the time World War II broke out, Ford had sold over 4 million trucks plus 1 million tractors. Focused on heavy-duty military truck chassis during war years, Ford Motor Company resumed consumer production in 1947. The next year, the legendary F-Series saw the world. In 1957, the company launched a tilt cab lineup of C900 series trucks, featuring a long-lived design used and built for decades. Overall, the Ford C-Series was produced almost unchanged for over 30 years. By the time it was discontinued (1990), it was considered to be the longest-manufactured commercial truck in North America. In 1961, Ford Motor Company introduced a version of the C-Series which marked its foray into the Class 8 COE (cab over engine) market. This heavy-duty truck was named the H-Series and featured the cab located much higher on the chassis and the front axle moved forward. Many powertrain and rear axle options were available for this cabover, with five gasoline-fed Ford V8s, five diesel engines by Cummins, and a Caterpillar motor available.

The H-Series was superseded with the W-Series back in 1966. The newcomer was a sleek and functional line-hauler cab designed to take premium engineering to a new level. The power choice included big Cummins, Caterpillar, and Detriot Diesel engines. Short cab and sleeper cab models were available. This truck featured a spacious, well-arranged cabin built around the driver's comfort and productivity. Interior highlights were a fine-finished woodgrain panel, big vinyl seats, convenient center console with a number of trays, and a separate air conditioner / heater for the optional sleeper compartment.

The N-Series was Ford's lineup of medium- and heavy-duty trucks produced from 1962 until 1969 and available in N 500 through N 1000 models. Many of them featured Ford's famous Super Duty engines. With the N-Series, Ford tapped into the short conventional (cab forward) market. Thanks to short BBC (bumper-to-back-of-cab) designs, these trucks allowed for distributing more weight to the front axle and installing longer bodies on the straight-truck chassis than long BBC conventionals could permit. This construction also resulted in shorter turning radius. N-Series trucks were offered as straight trucks well-suited for city delivery and tractors with short 89-inch BBC designs that allowed for hauling longer trailers for interstate delivery.

In the late 60s, Ford was aimed at updating its heavy truck lineup. The medium-duty F-Series trucks (F-600 to F-800) were separated into a standalone line, and Ford started developing a proper replacement for the N-Series. This all-new truck range was the famed L-Series, also known as the Ford Louisville and Ford Aeromax. These trucks utilized a heavier-duty chassis, bigger cab, and front-hinged hood. Over 650 models were available for just about any trucking job, making Ford the first truck manufacturer to offer a product lineup as extensive. It included medium, heavy, and extra-heavy trucks in short and long conventional options. L-Series trucks were produced in two generations up until 1998. A year prior, Ford announced selling its heavy-duty truck business to Freightliner, with the product lines rebranded as Sterling trucks.

Currently, Ford's commercial medium-duty truck lineup is limited to the F-650/F-750 Super Duty only. Although Ford no longer produces semi-trucks, it has carved itself a special place in automotive history.
