I just located a 36 1.5 ton that's pretty complete, but I want a pickup. Are the fenders and sheet metal the same on a pu and 1.5 ton?

I have several beds and rear fender sets - 37 to 39 I believe.(All say "Ford" but some have a "V8" on the tailgate??).

Looks like the 1.5 has shorter running boards, but maybe the 39 running boards would fit?

Would a 38-39 frame be usable or similiar for this conversion?

Thanks for any info, Gordon

I can fax it to you. Mac's in lockport NY is a very good source
for ford info and have a very large catalog of parts with the orignal part number, on the web or toll free 1-800-777-0948.
I have a 36 1/2 ton.

I looked into doing this a few years ago. The front fenders are larger than a pickups to accomodate the larger wheels. The running boards are shorter. I believe that the cab and other front sheet metal are the same as a pickup. I also remember the gas tank being in the cab (under the front seat I think) while the pickup gas tank is under the bed.
