The first generation Ford F-Series (also known as Ford Bonus-Built trucks) is a series of trucks that Ford produced from 1948 to the 1952 model years. The introduction of the F-Series marked a departure in the design of Ford cars and trucks. The first generation F-Series is the only generation produced exclusively with "Flathead" engines (inline 6 and V8) rated at 95 hp (71 kW).

The first generation F-Series was sold in eight different chassis (based on their GVWR), which gave them their model names; The F-1 was the lightest version with the F-8 as the tallest. The F-1 through F-3 pickups (which formed the basis of panel trucks) were offered.

The most common model of the first generation was the F-1 with a 6 1 ft (1.98 m) bed with a cargo volume of 45 cubic feet and a wheelbase of 114 inches.
