More Early Trivia

[mrfixit]

what was the first year that Ford trucks cabs were interchangeable between the F-1 right up to the F-4 models?

 

[bobj49f2]

I know the cabs from '48 on up were interchangeable between F-1 to F-8. I have a cab from a F-8 on my F-2.

Thanks for the welcome.

I am pretty sure the cabs for '41 to '47 were pretty much the same. The smaller trucks and the larger trucks of this vintage had their gas tanks located in different spots, I'm not very fimiliar with the older trucks, but I think the smaller trucks had the tank behind the seat while the bigger trucks had the tanks under the seat. Again, I don't know much about older trucks so I could be completely wrong.

Hello Bob! Glad to see you over here. Check the sticky in the F-100 area and see what you think.

I've been posting on the FTE site since it started. I also stop by the Bonus Built site. I just found this site by accident while searching for information on Ford Widow Maker wheels.

I've been working on '48-52 truck for over 20 years, last count I have had 15 or more trucks, mostly parts trucks.

 

[Brian_B]

I just have one and no parts trucks.

The major part of all of us here were at one time or another, regulars at the other site. We think we have a more "user friendly" site here. Have a good time and enjoy mixing it up with everyone!

 

[Skandocious]

I still post on both. Post on FTE mostly to help other people with their trucks and the occasion problem of my own. Post here mostly to chit chat with good people, but I have solved a few truck problems over here too

 

[Brian_B]

I post on both (mostly the 48-60 over there) as well as a few other ford sites. Don't know that I have helped anyone with their trucks though. I just talk way tooooooo much.

 

[Skandocious]

I just talk way tooooooo much.

AAAMEN!

 

[Brian_B]

AAAMEN!

At least I am honest!

 

[Skandocious]

I'm just kiddin' you buddy. If you talk too much then how much does Tom talk? Infinity? I'm really not sure...

 

[Brian_B]

I think Tom and Ryan are both "truckin bozos" already. I still think they should change that one.

No F-1 etc. designations were used before 1948.
