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?

Definitely different. You need the whole front end for them to fit.

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.

Welcome Lovemy53Coe. One thing to remember though is that we get posts from all sorts of people, so we say that if there isn’t a picture it didn’t happen. ;-)

I really dig your approach to .prove something new could be done. That truck sits so nice! Where are you located, I'd love to see her In person , I'm in SoCal.

petemcl,
Where can I get the exploded parts diagram?
Is it a book I can purchase? I already own the dark red 49-52 Shop Manual, but I would love to have exploded view pictures with part numbers.
