More history on this truck would be helpful.

What's with the serial number (98RW160448)? Is that a special construction VIN?

Which fenders do you think aren't F-1?

I sent the guy a note asking for the firewall stamping and any history he may have on it explaining that I'd never seen an F1 with the 51/52 dash and the 48-50 rear windows. There were rumored to be some 50's with the large rear window but I've yet to come across one and I've been looking. Also, this is supposed to be a 49. He did reply and asked for a phone number (which I gave him) to have the owner call me and said he'd get me the firewall stampings. Will see if I hear from him.

My guess would be the former given all of the other bizarre stuff on it.

I saw a truck a lot like this up here in Michigan a few years ago at a car show.. He swore it was all original body (thats what the previous owner told him). Was a 1952 F-2 cab and clip put on a 1950 or earlier F-1 frame with the 48-50 F-1 bed... The differant fenders (mixing 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton) stuck out like a sore thumb.
