Default Re: 1951 F3 Truck

Mac's sells parts, LMC truck, Sacremento Vintage Ford, John's F-100's, Joblot automotive, Bob Selzsam in NJ to name a few. Any sheetmetal would have to be found in Junkyards, back yards, etc... because nothing is being reproduced in metal. Your front fenders fit F-2 thru F-6. Bed parts are hard to find as they were pretty used up as work trucks. Alot of mechanical parts are shared thru the F-1 thru F-3 series, many are not. NAPA can still get many brake parts, Ebay is a good source for parts. Your lower valance is the same from F-1 thru F-6. Your dash harness is the same as a F-1 thru F-6, maybe F-7 and F-8. Your bed fit F-2 and F-3 only. THe brakes are F-3 only as F-2 are slightly smaller. Look around now that you own one, there are alot of the trucks sitting around. Look at 48-52 as they are basically the same truck other than sheetmetal. You'll see them. Other members will chime in on info on the trucks also. You might even get parts from them. One thing you should do is pick up a shop manual and a set of parts books. THey are on Ebay periodically and some of the repo parts dealers offer them in reprints. You can get them in paper or CD form. Good luck!!
