The 1948/56 Ford Truck Parts Catalog (does not include body parts for 1948/52) is available on a CD from hipoparts.com for about 20 bucks.

Or, you can buy Dennis Carpenter's reprint of the original paper catalog for 200 bucks.

The 1944/52 Ford Passenger Car/Truck Body Parts Catalog has just been reprinted by faxonautolit.com

It's pricey...52 bucks, and is not the same dimensions as the original.

I was at Faxon's store yesterday (located in Riverside CA), was dis-appointed with the price, and the size...which makes reading the puppy difficult. I passed.
