Need 1 ton panel Rear fenders 1947 Ford

I've aquired a 1947 Ford panel truck project. It came with rear fenders for a 1/2 ton that are in very good shape.

I'd gladly trade for 1ton rear fenders which are about 67inches wide.

Also is there a repair or parts manual for this truck? I need window and door latch mechanisms and hope there are reproductions out there.

Wish I could help... I also have a 47 tonner panel. My rear fenders are there but quite rough. Seems they use tire chains a lot in Minnesota. I have spent a lot of time on this truck. Maybe if you search 'Parkers Prairie Panel Progress' you can find my build thread here on FTE. And on youtube search '1947 ford one ton panel' Your truck is remarkably straight. Do you have the running boards? Where are you located?

I looked at your profile... East Bridgewater Ma. Bettencourts? I bought a 441 BSA there in the early 70s. Why isn't that panel all rusted out?

Your 1 ton panel truck really is remarkably straight! There is an owner's manual available. There wasn't a factory repair manual until the F series fords in '48 as far as I know.

Hello---nice straight Panel. I also have a 1947 Panel, 1/2 ton. California all its life, fortunately, so no real rust. I do need front and rear bumpers and brackets. If you happen to have any spares, please let me know.

Good luck with your search!

Tom

Thanks!

Thank you all! GB I live in East Bridgewater Ma.
This truck is shockingly straight particularly because everything rots here!
I'll follow up on the leads.

How about door internals and window mechanisms?

I have running boards for my International. I may use them and modify.

Why no rot? It's a complete mystery. I got it in New Hampshire for $700 with no motor. I couldn't not buy it! Don't know any other history

Yes I can use the bumper brackets

Hi--Thanks for the response. Yes, while the driver side inside bracket looks a bit bent, I can work with that. Let me know how much you'd like for the pair (with bolts that attach them to the frame). Send you price etc to my personal email at tsmithbonterra@gmail.com

I have a PayPal account and can arrange payment that way.

Thanks again! Getting there, one step at a time!

Tom

47 Ford Tonner rear fenders

Your truck is in amazingly good condition. After I got the bondo off of mine I found the aluminum tape infrastructure. Now I am rebuilding both rear quarters. Any chance i could get you to take some measurements off of yours?

I don't know how you are doing on your search but Wray Schelin has a shop, Pro Metal Shaping (https://www.proshaper.com/), in Charlton, MA, and offers classes and metal shaping. If you are unsuccessful you can look him up. I have one good fender I could make a flexible shape pattern along with sweeps and Wray can make both fenders from that or teach you how to do it. Good class. I made large patch panels for my rear quarters in one of his classes. Different patches for different sides from one pattern. Pretty cool technique.
