1960 f100 v f350
I've been looking for a 1960 f100- f350 The shape of the 1960 front end looks killer and that's the reason why i like it.
Trying to find out more between a 1960 f100 and f350.
1. Do they share the same cab?
2. Any wheel base differences?
3. Different frame?
That's about all the questions I can think of for now. If anyone has information or specs, I really like to find out. Thank you all in advance.

For the 1960 model -
Same cab. Only possible external difference is that the front fender wheel openings on some F250s and F350s can be a bit larger.
F100 has short and long wheelbases. F250 only has long (8 foot bed). F350 pickup and chassis cab also has no short wheelbase available, but has longer available.
Frames are different, but cab mount locations, engine and transmission mounts and such are the same.

Volvo-The guy who can probably give you exacting dimensions/differences,etc,is NumberDummy.He'll be around sooner or later,as he regularly visits 3 or 4 of the forums here,helping with part numbers etc.
My 1959 shop manual doesn't give length of the frame,only width and center line measurements for the spring hangers.Be advised,though,that those are different for F100/F250 than for F350's.In fact,I've noticed that in more than a few instances,the F350's are grouped together with the F500,F600,B500,B600.I have a 59 parts and accessories manual and a 59 car and truck specifications booklet,I'll check those out.
3414 is correct on the variations in fenders.My 59 F250 originally had these tall,skinny and squirrely, 19.5" wheels/tires,which means fenders with a larger opening.I got rid of those,gave them away to a member,in fact.The tires were expensive,and,unless the weight of the Sport King Camper was there,difficult to keep in a straight line going down the road.No such problems with stock 16" wheels/tires.
