Tha main differences are the frame and suspension. One tons had a longer frame, heavier springs, a different rear axle and different hubs and brakes, wheels and tires, etc. They also have different body parts, like a longer and wider bed, and different fenders with larger wheel openings. If you really want an F-1, find an F-1. Trying to make an F-2 or 3 look like an F-1 is a lot of work, and you almost need a donor truck to do it.
