Howdy Coastal 
Yeah, dual fuel is pretty common here in older cars as the price of petrol (gasoline) isn't as cheap as it is in the States. Most vehicles are retro fitted with LPG (natural gas) tanks on board and you flick a switch on the dash, and voila! You're suddenly running on a different fuel type.
In fact, in my case, my truck was fitted with two huge LPG tanks and still has the original petrol tank behind the bench seat. The two LPG tanks were placed 1 x bed, under cabin window and 1 x under tailgate. I just had the bed one removed (and whole bed re painted) so I can sleep in the back if i ever want to. There really wasn't any need for so much fuel and it looked a bit fugly.
I'll post a photos soon.

Howdy! I'm new here too, and from Australia. I've owned my 72 F100 since March 2014 and its in pretty good condition. Has a 351 Cleveland, is manual 4 speed from the floor and runs on gas and petrol. My next mission is to update the wheels, grille and cabin. I'm also planning on building wood panelling to sit above the bed sides, so will soon also be seeking to learn the basics of carpentry.

You will need to go to the 48-56 Forum for your 1951 panel questions.

To find the guy that has the same rear doors as you you will need to go back to the thread that you first saw them in. Thèn you can see the username of the guy that the doors belong to. Then you can either post in that thread or gain enough posts so you can private message him. Good luck welcome to the site and make sure to post any questions in the right forums.
