i am new to this site and could not find if anyone had ask about the dimension for a 1953 F8. the reason i would like to know is because i am a model builder that can`t affoed the real thing but like the looks of the real thing and no model company make F8 for this year. i did see the read first and that helped a little but i would really like to know the inches and stuff
thanks chewford

 

Maybe no model company makes the truck because Ford did not make one either. Starting in 1953, the F-Series designations changed from F1 and up to F100 and up.
I think F8 was about the largest model so that would equate to F900 starting in 1953.
See if you have better luck searching the model makers inventory with that number.
