Welcome to the board!! Its a bit of a challenge to build the larger trucks. I've heard good things about Joblots.
You might also dig out your local yellow pages and check out and clutch and brake outfit, sometimes they can get parts or have parts.

We have several members here who are a wealth of info on the larger trucks. I'm sure they will be along shortly and say hello.

F75 is F750. J is the engine code for the OHV 279 Lincoln V8, (I think.) 4 stands for '54. Somebody with a book and/or more knowledge of the subject will surely happen along soon...

Jim, I just purchsed a 1954 F-500 fire truck. I will tell you all of the cab parts, except for the finders, are the same as the F 100 from '53 thru '55. Danny
