I'm no expert on 53-56 trucks since mine is a 48 but I'm pretty sure the cabs will be the same but if the 53-56 is like 48-52 the fenders won't. They will have larger wheelwell openings than the F-100. Mine is an F-3 which is comparable to the F-350 and I was able to bolt F-1 fenders on it. You can probably bolt on F-100 fenders to the F-350 too cab. Someone else will be along to verify I'm sure...

Congradulations on buying a great looking cab racerjmm33, I also bought one but my cab came from an f600. The cabs are all the same the only difference being the wheel well opening is much larger in size than the f100. I will be buying reproduction fenders for mine, good luck and happy building and you will get lots of good advice and great ideas on this site. John

The cabs are exactly the same, the 350 had a doubler reinforced identical frame to all 118" WB models, heavier springs, 8 lug hubs with larger wheels and tires, 8' express bed, and IIRC power assisted brakes and steering, but that may have been an option.
The front sheetmetal is the same as F100 except the 350 had larger wheel openings for the larger wheels/tires, they interchange. The 118" wb trucks all had longer and wider running boards. All express beds interchange but will not interchange with the smaller F100 bed unless you shorten the frame to 110" WB.

This thread dates back to 2006. And this is the 48-56 forum. You should go to the 61-66 forum. I think they are the same but best hi hi the correct forum.
