1978 Front door interchange ??

Can anybody tell me what other year/model/drivetrain trucks might have a front door (drivers) that would interchange with the one from my 1978 Super Cab F250 camper special?

Need to browse classifieds - had an argument with a snow bank in the driveway and the snow bank sent me to see the side of the garage who sorted it out but good!

Any 73 to 79, F100 to F350 should work.

Really? Wow - that's cool - I never realized the parts were that interchangable?

Thanks much for the help.

One more if I may - what about the bed? It's a lonbed I believe - pics at:

Nice truck, why did you take the aluminum trim off??? Or did you put it back on? I personally think it looks a lot better with the trim.

If your asking are the beds interchangeble yes Any 73 to 79, F100 to F350 should work with minor differences where the fuel filler is.The 77-79's have fuel doors and The 73-76 have flush mounted fuel caps.

Hi Ho - thanks. The trim was actually in pretty poor shape and with pieces missing/ I took it off to paint, and managed to damage even more in the process. In the end, there wasn;t enough good trim to go back on. I agree it's better with...one day I'd actually like to set about really bringing it back to life - proper pain job, body work or new body etc. But for now it's just a heavy hauler.

Wiz - that's what I was asking....thanks. Since there's no chance of finding decent doors or beds (or anything) here in salty Atlantic Canada - any reccommendations for body parts suppliers?

Thanks

Bill
