Different Fenders? Hold on, fenders are bumpers, yes? And what would be different or relevant - marked differences between F100 and F150 panels? This all makes my head spin, total info overload. If it IS a F150, then it will make it easier to buy the modding parts I'm after as F100 is seldom listed.
I will contact the owner as he owned the vehicle a number of years.

Bumpers ? Not sure what the folks across the pond call them.
I'm not sure of all the differences between the F-100 and F-150, Tho, I'd imagine there is a long list. That would include Engine, Suspension, Braking system, any number of things.
I would think that the body panels are the same tho, Just different trim levels.
You have the Lariat, XL, XLT, Lariat Limited, King Ranch, Eddie Bauer, Harley Davidson.
All have different amenities,
Seat material = Cloth vs Leather
Floor = Carpet vs vinyl
Power windows, Power Locks, A/C, The list goes on.

Shooting brake? Estate car. Drophead? Isn't that an engine? Droptop.Now then Is a 6ft bed 6 ft from inside to inside? As I have just made mine 81" give or take.

My 8 ft bed is 96 1/2 inches long and 67 1/2 inches wide.
Inside to inside
Not sure what the short bed dimensions are but 6 1/2 ft sounds close.

I've owned two dropheads: 1956 Jag-u-ar XK140, 1951 Riley.
Estate Wagon = Morris, for example. Sometimes refered to as a Morris Manure here in the US by some peeps.
Droptop is slang for a ragtop aka a convertible.

Ah, the Morris Minor. Not among my list of favorite british cars either. You may or may not be surprised to know that there is some kind of cult following for them over there, a firm near me have done thriving trade for a number of years restoring/modifying them to order for export to the states.
Surprised that a Riley has found its way over there! But then I'm fairly young and more familiar with stateside tin from the 50's then UK stuff.

Rileys were imported here in the '50's as were Rollers, Bentleys, MG Magnettes, Triumph Mayflowers, the Roots Group cars, British Leylands, Austins, most of the English Fords.
Then there were the myriad sports cars from Jaguar, Triumph, Austin-Healey, MG, Aston-Martin, Daimler, etc.
Most survived only a few years as they just couldn't stand up to the American drivers and road speed. So, many headed for the boneyard rather quickly.
Other maladies were the wonderful Lucas Electrics, oil leaks, rust, hard to find parts, even when the cars were brand new.
Most were difficult to work on, not only because Whitworth wrenches were required, but the British always used 6 bolts when two would suffice.

A truly interesting assortment of cars there, some are a real surprise! I'm a fan of old English Fords (selling one at the moment) but not into the BL cars.
I like the 6 bolts versus 2 statement. That made me chuckle.

That statement of 6 bolts instead of 2 comes from experience...
In the past, I've owned two Rollers, a Jensen Interceptor III, two Jags, one Riley, one MG TD, and currently own a 1962 Bentley Continental Flying Spur.
So...as you can see, I'm a sucker for punishment!
