51Panelman,

What color is your front clip? I would love to get an original paint black front clip for this truck. My email is Brianacarey@msn.com. I can explain.

Jason

ok, I guess I can't leave my email. I have been here less than 15 days, so I can't email you directly.

Jeff,

No problem, I knew there was a difference but I just didn't think about it. I appreciate any help in updating and/or clarifing the table. Here's the revised table.

Bob

Code:
<table width="600" align="CENTER" border="3" bgcolor="white">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="gray"><p><font size="5" ><center>F-Series Body Parts Listing</center></font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p>Parts shared by all Models, F-1 through F-8<br>(including panel trucks)
</td>
<td><p><ul>
<li><p>Cab (except panel), doors and interior cab parts (Except speedometer and transmission covers, the trans cover will fit all models but will need to have holes closed and moved around.)<br></li>
<li><p>Inner fender panels<br></li>
<li><p>Doors<br></li>
<li><p>Hood</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p>Differences between 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder trucks
</td>
<td><ul>
<li><p>The battery trays mounts on opposite sides<br></li>
<li><p>Starter solenoid mounts near batteries so they are on opposite sides too<br></li>
<li><p>Radiator sets closer to the front on a 6 cylinder truck<br></li>
<li><p>Radiator panel in the hood on a six cylinder truck also sets closer to the front of the truck and is narrower than the 8 cylinder panel.</li>
<li><p>Throttle linkages are different; the linkage on the eight comes up above the engine, toward the middle of the engine; the six's linkage runs to the passenger side of the enging and runs along the manifolds. </li>
<li><p>Fuel line on the eight runs up the firewall on the driver's side and connects to the fuel pump on the back corner of the engine; the fuel line on the six crosses the transmission frame support, runs along the passenger side frame and connects to the fuel pump on the front of the engine.</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p>Parts specific to F-1
</td>
<td><ul>
<li><p>Front fenders <br></li>
<li><p>Pickup box (6 ½ foot)<br></li>
<li><p>Rear fenders<br></li>
<li><p>Tailgate</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><p>Parts shared by F-1 through F-6
</td>
<td><p><ul>
<li><p>Grill<br> </li>
<li><p>Radiator support<br></li>
<li><p>Short running boards (With slight alteration these also fit panel trucks)</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>



<tr>
<td><p>Parts shared by F-2 through F-6
</td>
<td><ul>
<li><p>Front fenders</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><p>Parts shard by F-2 and F-3
</td>
<td><ul>
<li><p>Front fenders (wheel openings are larger than the F-1)<br> </li>
<li><p>Pickup box (8 foot and wider than the F-1, wheel well protrude further into the box)<br></li>
<li><p>Tailgate (wider and higher that the F-1)<br></li>
<li><p>Rear fenders (wheel opening is larger and is narrower that the F-1)<br> </li>

</ul>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><p>Parts shared by F-7 and F-8
</td>
<td><ul>
<li><p>Grill (wider than the smaller models)<br></li>
<li><p>Front fenders (wider than the smaller models)<br></li>
<li><p>Running boards (7 inches wider than smaller models)</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p>COE and delivery vans
</td>
<td><p><ul>
<li><p>Grill (same as the F-7 & 8's)<br></li>
<li><p>I am not familiar with COE trucks or delivery vans (bread truck vans) so this is the only information I have about these models.</li>

I am in the process of converting my F-3 to an F-1 by shortening the frame and using front and rear F-1 fenders and bed. The springs are heavier and the differential under an F-3 is enormous. I am also converting the front and rear suspensions to use 5 on 4.5 inch wheel pattern instead of 8 lug so I can put smaller 15 inch wheels on it.

Vern
Vern,
My friends and I are wanting to convert a F-3 frame to a F-1 frame, and I was wondering if you could give us advice how to do it, etc... We are young and extremely inexperienced, so we want to do it right the first time. Thank you!
John

Welcome to the forum. Do you realize this thread is quite old?
Why not introduce yourself and start a new thread. You will get lots of answers. Look on the left side and see New thread.
