I just wanted to say Welcome to FTE and bump this back to the top for ya. I'm not sure but I believe the cabs are the same but the fender openings are larger on the F2.
Some of the guys that really know these trucks will be along to help you out.

Welcome to the forum! The cab, doors, and other front sheet metal is going to be all the same, unless your truck was originally equipped with 17" wheels. If so, the fenders will have larger wheel openings the same as the one ton. But that's the only real difference. The bed will be longer and wider, the running boards longer to match the increased wheelbase, and the rear fenders will be not so deep because of the extra bed width. Frame wise, it's totally different, longer and heavier duty.

Tell us more, in detail, about the condition of your truck. What's wrong, what does it need. etc.? Do you have pics to share?
