so far all i found was fiberglass body parts does anyone know if the older nose like 40-47 will fit the 51 cab? i really like that style of nose and thought if i get stuck buying a complete front clip might as well be the one i like

Hey there ****! That looks like it has alot of potential. Your question about the fiberglass, do you mean the 48-50 style? I'm pretty sure the 42-47 won't fit but then again I've never tried. I can't help much(as usual) on the nose but we have alot of f-1 experts. I can say the fender's won't work because the larger trucks have a much bigger opening. Hope this helps, -4speed

Shagg,

I'm pretty certain the 42-47 nose will not fit the 48-52 trucks. You need to stick with 48-52 fiberglass parts. Besides, if there were ever an ugly truck contest, I think the 42-47 would be be heavily represented!

Hey it looks like a good project. And as a bonus, you have a ROPS to keep you safe in case of rollover. Good luck, John
