Donor truck for a 49

Hey i just baught a 1949 f47 and was woundering what truck would best be suitable for a donor truck. Someting i could use a 302 drive train and the power brakes , sterring, and other parts . I dont want it to have a computer either , so i would prefer pre late 80s thuck. I want it so i can hope in it turn the key and have a cool daily driver...Thanks for the help...

Welcome to FTE! Any Ford product with a 302 in it prior to about 1985 should do it.

If you were to find a good deal on a 85 or later model that has the fuel injection you could always just convert it back to carb, that's what I had to do with the 89 Lincoln towncar donor I bought.
