We are restoring our 1949 F3. I am looking for a cab for this truck. We live in NJ.

Any leads?

 

Well a good welcome to You! The site has a special spot for you with the older classics down below. Should be a lot more help down there.

Thread moved to the 48-60 forum. WELCOME to FTE!

 

Thank you for the welcome and the tip!

 

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Someone will chime in with a cab....but just out of curoiosity, what is wrong with the one that you have?

Checkout Bob's FatFenderedTruck website. The F-1 thru F-6 cabs all interchange. If you look on Ebay and/or local Craigslist, you should be able to find some F-1 cabs in good condition that can be swapped onto your truck.

Hope that helps.

 

Thank you very much. I was not sure if all of the series were interchangeable. I will check out your recommendations.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Actually F1-F8 cabs interchange. Just stay away from the COE cabs. The front lower portion of the cabs are different than the conventional cabs.

You should be able to pick up a complete F4-F8 truck failry cheap as they're not as much in demand. Most will have decent cabs becasue they've been left sitting and unusued for many years.

 

I want to know if you really are five girls restoring an old truck? Photos? Of you and the truck, of course.

 

I fiance and I have four girls between us. we are all going to work on the restoration....God be with me!

 

I bought the truck from the original owners. in 1949, they bought the truck and had a body (from the firewall back) fabricated at a ship yard to use as a produce truck. I am restoring it into a pick up.

 

and you get to live in the same house. and and you get to eat at the same table. and and and you get to keep your truck. OMG, 5 keepers....chuck

 

Sounds like an interesting conversion. Please post pictures. We'd love to see this "oddity".

 

It might be more interesting to restore it back to the altered form, it all depends if it was a hack job or not.

 

My fiance is great. she is fully in support ofthis restoration and it is becoming a family thing. The best part is, I get to keep my truck!!
