Prototype History:
The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks and medium-duty trucks (Class 2-7) that have been marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since 1948. While most variants of the F-Series trucks are full-size pickup trucks, the F-Series also includes chassis cab trucks (flat bed) and commercial vehicles (box van). The Ford F-Series has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States since 1986 and the best-selling pickup since 1977.

In 1999, to bridge the gap between the pickup line and the medium-duty trucks, the F-250 and F-350 became the Ford Super Duty vehicles; considered an expansion of the F-Series, the Super Duty trucks are built on a distinct chassis with heavier-duty components. As of the 2017 model year, the F-Series includes the F-150, the Super Duty (F-250 through F-550), and F-650 and F-750 Super Duty medium-duty commercial trucks. The most popular version of the F-Series is the F-150, now in its thirteenth generation.

Through the use of rebadging, Ford has marketed the F-Series through all three Ford divisions in North America. From 1946 to 1968, Mercury sold the Mercury M-Series in Canada; during the 2000s, Lincoln sold the Lincoln Blackwood, replaced by the Lincoln Mark LT.

From Wikipedia
Road Name History:
In 1824, brothers Isaac and Absalom traveled from Ohio to stake their claim to the rich soils of McLean County, Illinois. Isaac became an Illinois State Senator during the civil war, and co-founded Illinois Wesleyan University. During the course of the next 40 years Isaac Funk accumulated 25,000 acres of Central Illinois prairie land. Along with corn, livestock became a major part of Funk Farms. Cattle and hogs formed the principle produce of Isaac Funk's farming operation. Arriving in McLean County ahead of the railroads, he drove both hogs and cattle to the Chicago Union Stockyards more than 100 miles away, spending 14 days on the trail. One of Isaac's sons, Lafayette, was co-founder and director of the famed Chicago Union Stockyards.
Funk Farms has a long history in the seed corn business through the development and marketing of the Funks G-Hybrid label. The Funk family entered the seed business in 1901 when Eugene Duncan (E.D.) Funk, son of Lafayette and grandson of Isaac, founded Funks Bros. Seed Co. Under the guidance of E.D. and later his sons, the family business grew into one of the nation's largest seed companies. Funks Bros. Seed Co. was instrumental in the research and development of hybrid corn production for commercial sale. Funk Bros. Seed was sold to Corn Products Co. in the late 1960's, but the seed was sold under the Funk's G-Hybrid label for a number of years even after changes in ownership.
Today, Funk Farms still embraces diversity. Funk Farms has 3 cash crops - corn, soybeans, and alfalfa - as well as a sizable cattle feedlot capacity of 1000 head, and composting operation.
