F-3 Shocks?
I would like to buy some decent name brand front shocks from a local place for my 1949 F-3 but can not seem to find a model that fits. I have found shocks that fit at some online Ford places(NPD, Sacramento Vintage, etc) but they don't have much info about the shock aside from "stock ride height"(no brand). I have found NAPA's house brand but nothing else and I question their reliability as they suggest rear shock for the truck but as far as I know the F-3 didn't have rear shock just a lot of springs. What is everyone else using?

You will likely need to take travel range measurements but they will give you part numbers.....

You are right I have not yet called them but I have looked at their online catalogs and neither claims to have one.

I'd think the F-3 shocks are the same as the F-1, isn't every the same for the front suspension for F-1 to F-3? Rock Auto lists MONROE Part # 31000 for the front for all three models.
