55 cab body work?
Hello to all! Im on to the cab now! I just droped the cab and doors to the blaster and looking to get the parts to replace whats bad. I need corners ,rockers, front floor pans. Does any one know where the best place to get these parts that should fit with out much work. Also does any one know where i can find out what should be there, like a listing or drawing of where the parts should go? Someone had tried to fix the cab before me and i would like to change and fix it right for me. Thanks for the help Roger

I have 1955 F-600 that is in pretty strong running condition with lots of new mechanical work. Of course all the sheet metal is rusted out. I need to find a complete cab, doors, hood, fenders, and grill. The major problem is that I can't find another 1955 F-600 that is in any better shape. Folks tell me that everything is interchangeble from F100 thru F-700, but still can't find anything that isn't just another pile of rust. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Can't afford much as I am just a small farm opperator with a very limited budget.

Check out both, and get their catalogues because they lots of helpful hints and drawings. You can buy a "53 , '54-'55 or a '56 Repair Manual that can be quite helpful at most major swap meets...like little ole Carlisle might have it

Okie Dokie,
I saw a 53-55 F600 at a yard in Russellville, Ky it's in very good shape just the cab and frame though, I found it when I was liikong the owner said the hood was on it but when I checked it was lone gone!

Another source you might try is Northern Classic Trucks, www.northernclassictrucks.com/. They had the best prices I found for floor, rockers, and braces for my F1 cab. Fit pretty good too.
