WANTED '48 F1 Panel Truck Quarter Panels.

Grandadeo · July 08, 2005, 12:16:34 AM

Still looking for replacement (patch) panels to weld into the quarters on my '48 Ford F1 Panel Truck. Passenger side is the worst but could use both. '48 to '52 should all be the same. I've checked with several suppliers and no one carries them for panel trucks, just pickups. So will need to come from a donor body. Need as much as possible including the entire wheel well around to the rear door jamb and a few inches above the wheel well. Could even use the rear body panel below the doors. If you know of any bodies laying around that are being parted out please let me know. Will be traveling from Florida to Western New York next weekend and will gladly drive to pick them up on the east coast or in Ontario if I can import them across the border. Why did I ever start picking at that bondo?

I know this is a long way from you but there is a small salvage yard outside of Seguin Texas that had (About 6 months ago) At least two of the 48 - 50 type panel bodies. If I remember right one of them was cut off at the doors and appeared fairly good from there back.
This yard deals in old stuff so he knows what it is worth, but if you don't find anything closer you can give it a shot.
(830) 379-2029.

There is a guy on the FTE forum who is into them and was parting a couple out. His handle is 51Panel from memory.

He is however in San Jose CA, so may be no use to you.

Cal, I posted on the Ford Barn when I posted here. Nothing heard back from there though. Thanks for the tips on California and Texas. If those folks are willing to ship that may be what I'll have to do. Keep those tips a comin. Thanks.
