What years will fit my 57 F100? Did F100 - F300 use the same cab?

Thanks Charles

57-60 windshields are the same from F100 through F250, I do not
know about anything beyond F-250.

Charles, All 1957 to 1960 F-series Conventional trucks used the same cab, from pickup to tractor trailer (F-100 to F-1100).

If I understand this correctly then seats, dashes, pedals, wiper motors, etc... should all interchange?

thanks again Charles

Well... MOST stuff should interchange. Keep in mind that the larger trucks may have had individual seats (coil or even air ride), air brakes (different pedal and air pressure guage hole in dash), and other differences. The generic stuff like *****, door handles, doors, glass, wiper motors, etc. will be the same.

That is correct, except that trucks equipped with air brakes had a brake treadle pedal. (looks like another gas pedal). All '57-'60 F-series seats are the same, except for the different seat coverings and padding between the years. All dashes will fit, but some of the bigger trucks had a brake vacuum gauge, and tach where the 2 decorative "stars" are. Also, '57-'58 dash "stars" were different than '59-'60. '59-'60 had a raised lip around each "star". Cabover engine used the same dash (instrument bezel), but the dash board itself was different. The wiper motors were the same. Some were vacuum, some were electric but I don't know why. I think one was standard, and one an option.

Great news. Thanks to all. I have found a stash of large (?) F300+ maybe I can find some parts.

Thanks Charles
