Front Sheetmetal

I was on one of my usual parts runs today and stopped at a place where the family was preparing for a family estate auction. The dad died and left all these old vehicles he had collected. No they aren't in good shape but they have good usable parts left. Can someone please help me determine what pieces will interchange and which are different on the front clips. Up to what size do the metals stay the same? I know that the geometry for the larger wheels and tires play a part in the fender openings. Any help would be appreciated. I also saw a sun wing mounted on the one F-1 that was there. It is the closest thing I have seen to a sun visor. I know they came as an option but I haven't come across any in the yards I've been to.

F2 thru F6 front sheetmetal is the same 48-50 and 51/52
F1 is basically the same except for wheel opening in fenders.
Cabs are the same 48-50 and 51/52. All F1-F6 sheetmetal will bolt to all cabs if done as a unit.
