@Mike – sort of. Technically, they will fit, but the fenders for the F2/F3 are wider than the F1 fenders, so they will stick out from your truck farther, and might look a little funny.

Hi, I have an F1 and am having troubles finding fenders in good shape. I was told that the F2 or F3 fenders would still fit an F1. Can you tell me if this is true?
Thanks,

I bought my 1952 f2 five years ago, it was in pretty bad shape but I am very commited to having it complete soon enouph, I do not have a lot of money for the project so it is one thing at a time. I have my baby running real well, most of the body work is done but I have a long way to go. I will continue to check your site and talk more.

Hi_ My 1951 Ford truck F2 is now completed. The only thing I am having trouble finding is a spare wheel. 17 inch with a 5 inch center hole.

Yes, the cabs are the same between the different models. You could theoretically shorten the frame to fit the F1 bed, but you would also have to chop down the drive train, because the position of the rear wheels would be different.

I don’t really know much about these trucks. Is there a difference in the cabs and or are they the same from F1,F2,F3. I know the suspension is diffrent being half ton to ton truck. I was just wondering if a F1 bed would fit if the frame was shortend, length wise. I have people here to do that. I really apperciate any info. Thanks for your time. Jon

Jon, unfortunately it’s pretty difficult to find bed parts for these larger trucks. There are a few places that sell reproductions, but they only do flat bed sides, so they won’t match up with the fenders correctly. My bed was in pretty terrible shape, and I’m still in the painstaking process of restoring it. I cut out the sections that were completely rusted out, and had a sheet metal shop create replacement panels that I then welded in. I’ve got some photos of the process that I will post soon.

Like the website. Recently got a 51 ford truck that says f3 in the hood. Don’t know alot about these trucks. It has an enormous flat bed on it that is not original. Can you find beds for these trucks? The truck runs and drives, and has no cosmetic damage such as dents, holes, or pits from rust. Has some surface rust in spots but not bad. I would like to do what you did and take it off frame.
