The badging of the B-Series underwent a revision, ending the use of external B-700/B-800 designation; all cowl badges used "B-Series" badging. After a 50-year production run, the final B-series cowled bus chassis was produced as the sixth-generation medium-duty Ford F-Series ended its model cycle after the 1998 model year.
The name carryall was later used for a panel truck with rear windows and folding rear seats, allowing for the transport of either passengers, cargo, or both. [3] This sort of vehicle is an ancestor of today's sport utility vehicles.
The C-series was also used as a basis for fire apparatus production. Produced for 33 years nearly unchanged (with the exception of its powertrain), the C series was the longest-produced commercial truck in North America at the time of its withdrawal; only the Mack Model R (39 years) and Kenworth W900 (59 years) have remained in production longer.

Alongside an all-new frame, the front suspension was redesigned, converting to independent front suspension with front torsion bars. [3] The front axle was moved four inches forward, extending the wheelbase to 119 inches. [4]

The K-700 1975 was the further development of K-700A, including the disposal of the next larger fuel tanks (two tanks of 320 liter capacity) due to larger tires for better traction. The K-700A provided only a temporary solution. [1] Also in 1975, a successor of K-700 appeared: the K-701.
