Greetings!

The F1 was the designation from '48-52 - became F100 in '53. These were all 1/2 ton trucks. There may be thin clips over one or more wheel studs holding the drums on - if not, a BFH is your best friend.

F-1's were from 48-52, and their steering and brakes are frequently used on Model A's and other juice brake conversions.

F-100's were from 53-on. Their front brakes are very similar to F-1's, but less "domed". They were used for many more years and are cheaper. Can't say whether they'll work for converting an A.
