The 1951 Ford pickup was a pivotal member of Ford's "Bonus Built" line of postwar trucks. The line was announced early in 1948 and ran through 1952.
Featured was the "Million Dollar Cab" (it cost $1 million to design and tool). Ford said it had "Living-Room" comfort, and it was much higher and wider than before, and better fitted. Styling was classier and cleaner.
In 1951 Ford introduced a new front end, gone was a smiling horizontal-bar grille and inboard headlamps it was now replaced by a single-bar grille with three massive teeth along with a wrap around front bumper, this gave the truck a more aggressive frontal appearance. The fenders were revised to house the new grille work and the headlamps were moved farther outboard, the fenders being somewhat taller allowed the hood to adopt a flatter, more modern appearance. Ford accentuated this smoother look with a low air scoop in the lower front of the hood, replacing the high "nostrils" of the 1948-1950 design.
New "Power Pilot" vacuum advance adjusted spark and fuel mixture according to load weight, and the V-8 engine earned a number of mechanical modifications. As advertised on its nose, this truck carries Ford's 239-cubic-inch flathead V-8, rated at 100 horsepower.
Out back, the 51 featured a "grain-tight" tailgate, meaning that it fit so snugly a load of grain wouldn't leak on the way home. The beds now had a wood floor rather than steel, and note the larger rear window that accompanied the 51 redesign.
Indoors, the dashboard of the 51 was restyled and two trim levels were offered: standard "Five Star" and "Five Star Extra." the latter had a foam padded seat, insulated headlining, door locks, dome light, twin horns, and thicker sound deadeners all which this truck has.
