Thanks to all who have responded. It looks like they have found a replacement. We will see when they get their hands on it. I have found some suppliers I was not aware of and I appreciate that.

The terminology BJ is using is correct. Ford did not come out with the terms "Custom Cab" until 1955. The cabs with all the options were called "Deluxe Cabs". the cheapo models were called Standard Cabs.

In 51 - 52 I believe the standard cab was called 5 Star and the deluxe was called 5 Star Extra.

Yes, of course Joe. I was thinking of 53-56 models without typing it or clarifying that....
