Ford C series

About Ford C series

The Ford C series is a range of trucks that was produced by Ford between 1957 and 1990. The first cab-over-engine (COE) truck produced with a tilting cab by Ford, the C series replaced the C-series COE variant of the F-Series, produced since 1948. Produced as both a straight/rigid truck and a tractor, many versions of the C series were produced, ranging from Class 5 to Class 8 GVWRs. The C-series was also used as a basis for Firefighting apparatus production. Produced for 33 years nearly unchanged (with the exception of its powertrain), the C series was the longest-produced commercial truck in North America at the time of its withdrawal; only the Mack Model R (39 years) and Kenworth W900 (65 years) have remained in production longer.
