I know the F1's had open driver line, but I believe they were floor shift, and they ran from '48 - '52. So did side shift open drive line show up in F100s starting with 51 or 52 ? Thank you.

'51 was the first full year for column-shifted F-1's. I believe some late '50's were equipped with them, too. All '48-'52 trucks were open drive.

I think they may have begun offering the column shifter in 1950 models but the pickup truck experts can confirm that. The Ford F-1 pickup line ran from 1948 through 1952. The open drive Toploader (floor shift) was the standard 3 speed transmission all of those years. The Sideloader (column shift) was optional for sure in ‘51-52 but I suspect it was also available for 1950 models.

Beginning with 1953 truck production, the F series trucks model designation changed from the F-1 to F-100 and was a whole new design. At this point the light duty 3 speed transmission became column shift only. Ford still offered the optional Heavy Duty 3 speed floor shift and the optional 4 speed floor shift transmissions, but no more Light Duty floor shift transmissions in the F-100.

Thank you Mac. That clarifies it, as I thought all '48-52 p/ups, F1 were floor shifft.

Also, don't forget that '42-'47 1/2-ton pick-ups were also floor-shifted and open drive. DD

Yes, of course that is very true. The photo was of the Sideloader version so my identification remarks were based on that. The toploader version existed from 1942-52. The sideloader version of the transmission with the big bell housing shape to the front was produced from 1950-52.
