Dream Parts
I know there are a lot of parts that are almost impossible to find,but if a manufacturer could make just one thing for your Ford,what would it be?

Definitely sheet metal front fenders. (51 F1) Everything else is good. Glass has class, but steel is real. I've got glass fenders on one of my other rods and steel is much better.

Sheetmetal fenders for the 48-52 guys. And running boards and bed parts for the big truck guys on the forum. I know it sucks to be forced to restore junk sheetmetal.

Can I have a third wish? New Grant G/T steering wheels available in IH red for $29.95 w/ adapter included.

Rust-, dent-, hack-, & Bondo-free cabs. At a cheap price, readily available. And while I'm dreaming, peace in the Middle East, and a winning lottery ticket.

I wish someone would make enough pieces to assemble a brand new bed for the 57-60 Stylesides! And new tailgates would be nice too!
Looks like I'm going to be cutting & spliceing metal to try to make one good bed out of two!
Unless there's someone out there in California land that has a good Styleside shortbed they'd like to part with, please let me know!!!!

Sheet metal for 57 to 60. Cab support and the usual floor parts.

I'll echo the big truck parts, I know all to well about having to try and salvage the twisted and rusted bit of sheetmetal that I have to call an F-3 Express box (I can't even find running boards... I'm gunna have to make them). At least if we had to, we could bolt on an F-1 clip, but I don't think the dinky lil F-1 box or running boards would look quite right on a F-2 or up... not with the frame rails stickin out.

Bumpers specific to the 51 and 52 F1's, so I don't have to hear the sales pitch "correct for 48-50, but fit's the 51-52 as well!"

the roll pan and piece under the rear doors of my panel. Talked to Dennis Carpenter a couple years ago and he said not enough demand to warrant the expense.
