Crosspost from my F3 thread:
Does anyone know if the '51/'52 inner fender panels are interchangable with the 49?
Mine are pretty thrashed, some mensa candidate bolted horns to them and used them as steps, so they're severely cracked along the core support holes and have holes were the horns were bolted on. I have the chunks that once filled the holes but the tabs that bolt to the frame are just gone for good measure. It's fixable, but boy howdy.
Found a few on craigslit, but somehow they're all '51 panels, and the shop manual and repro catalogues shows those as different parts. Anyone ever tried these on a '48-'50?

Hello Fomoco 1 - from a fellow Canadian, I just joined this site today, so I’m a little awkward - lol - I’m restoring a 1953 Merc C600- I am having very little success with finding brake parts for my front axle. I am thinking of swapping in something with disc brakes, do you know of anyone who could advise me. Thank you for your help.

When I made plans to build my 1956 Ford F-100 I immediately knew that I wanted to have it roll on a combination of 18-inch front wheels and 20-inch billet wheels for the rear. I wasn’t targeting the pro-street look, but wanted a minimum of a 20 x 10 inch rim for the rear, which a couple of buddies told me was impossible to do on an F-100. (Read More)
