Ford UP – the Dutch Pick-up registration class for Ford flatbed and load-bed trucks, from the F-100 and F-350 to V8 versions, 3.0 to 3.6 litres of displacement, four- to eight-cylinders, 1.2 to 2.7 tonnes unladen weight
Ford UP denotes the Dutch Pick-up registration class and gathers here Ford load-bed trucks of various generations that the register could not assign to a named range – from the F-100 through the one-and-a-half-ton F-1 1/2 Ton to the F-350 and plain entries as Pick-up or Pick-up V8. The type logic follows the classic F-Series payload class: the higher the number after the F, the greater the payload, with single rather than dual rear wheels on the lighter and a reinforced frame on the heavier versions.

The register lists here 9 versions with 3.0 to 3.6 litres of displacement from four- to eight-cylinders, unladen weights from 1,180 to 2,716 kg, gross weights from 1,975 to 3,490 kg and widths from 1,670 to 2,050 mm.
Classic Ford pick-ups of this kind came to the Netherlands mainly as imported and used vehicles from North America, finding buyers among trades, agriculture and enthusiasts of American vehicles; the V8 versions stand for the more powerfully engined variants within the range.
On used examples, rust on frame, load bed and wings, the condition of carburettor and ignition on the older V8 engines, clutch and gearbox, and on US imports the availability of metric or imperial parts count; the parts trade for the F-Series is well established in Europe through specialist importers.
