1978 f 600 VS f350

can anyone tell me if a dash pad from a pick-up will fit an f600 dash ? i know that the instrument cluster is different, don't know about the dash..also looking for a glove box insert, radio bezel, head liner, stainless west coast mirrors and door weather stripping..is there a source of good quality repro parts or NOS parts. thanks for any help...also,in my earlier post about truck vs bus fenders...there is infact a 2"filler panel attached to the rear of the fender to fit the bus cowl...i will share the experience of the retro fit when the are in my garage...

The dash in the 73-79 f500+ utilized the dash that was used in the 67-72 f100-f350.

Headliner and weatherstrip is standard 73-79 F-series.

Stainless mirror brackets would be aftermarket. The mirrors themselves are standard size, available in many styles and functions at your local semitruck shop. You can always have your factory steel brackets chromed or powder coated.

Any fender mods would have likely been the bus cabin builder.
