Craftsmanship of this level is always a pleasure to see. Your work always seems to hit the mark.

Used my '48 F-5 as a model. I tried every vendor-supplied cab corner on the market...not one fit or was even close to the factor bends...
So using my drafting skills (and my 30 ton press) I drew up plans for my brother (machinist) to cut me some dies..
I do the cab corners, and front fender-to-running board patches.

Reamer I will be needing some for my 48 F1. I also need the front fender to running board patches. Can anyone tell me if the Coe lower Fender patch is the same. I will need 4 for the Coes years 48 and 51. Great living on the rusty east coast.

I believe they are the same. Ford mentality, why make two styles of the same thing
