Rob,
The bigger trucks have been largely ignored by the aftermarket, so finding parts won't be easy. I'm converting my F-3 to an F-1 for just that reason. Some parts from the F-100s will fit your F-250, but for the most part you will have to scrounge the swap meets and classifieds for used parts. Will it be an original truck or modified? Good luck either way...

Rob, I am looking at my National Parts Depot (NPD) catalog. They sell replacement fenders, front & back (flareside) for your model truck. The fenders are listed as interchangable for F-100 thru F350. Running boards for flareside are also listed as interchangeable for F-100 - F-350.

Must be a misprint. Fenders might interchange even though the wheel well opening is larger on the F-250 and larger trucks, but there's no way the running boards are the same because the wheelbases and beds are longer on the bigger trucks...
