Ford F-Series 3rd Gen listings 463 for sale now
The 3rd generation Ford F-Series, sold from 1957 to 1960, marked a major styling departure from its predecessor. Ford integrated the front fenders into the body and introduced a wider cab, creating a more modern and cohesive look. This series also debuted the smooth-sided 'Styleside' bed as an option alongside the traditional 'Flareside' step-side, a feature that proved incredibly popular. It was also the first generation where buyers could order factory-installed 4-wheel drive, a significant upgrade from the previous aftermarket conversions.
Collectors are drawn to the '57-'60 F-Series for its classic 1950s design, which perfectly blends toughness with style. The availability of the 292 Y-block V8 provides more power than the standard inline-6, and the truck's simple mechanicals make it easy to maintain and modify. Their strong aftermarket support makes them an excellent platform for everything from faithful restorations to full-on restomods with modern running gear.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest concern. Check the cab corners, floor pans, step wells, and the radiator core support, as these areas are notorious for rot.
- Examine the bed carefully. Styleside beds often rust out along the lower seams and over the wheel arches, while Flareside beds frequently require complete replacement of the wood floor planks.
- Listen to the engine. The optional Y-block V8s can suffer from poor top-end oiling, leading to valvetrain noise. The standard 223 inline-6 is durable but check for excessive smoke or low oil pressure.
- Factory 4-wheel drive models are rare and valuable. Verify authenticity by checking for a Dana 44 front axle and other specific components, as many 2WD trucks have been converted over the years.
