The history of Ford's F-series pickup truck, from the Model TT to today:
Although the fourth-generation truck makes its debut in 1961 with a traditional solid-axle suspension, it eventually receives Ford's vaunted twin-I-beam setup in 1965.

The base 300-cubic-inch six-cylinder receives fuel injection, raising its output to 145 horsepower and a hearty 265 pound-feet of torque, just 5 pound-feet shy of the 5.
