But the cab, hood, grille, doors, etc, are the same as the smaller models. Good used or "new old stock" fenders and running boards might be hard to find. Two sources that might help are Chuck Mantiglia of Chuck's Trucks in CT, and Rod Kruithoff in MI. Both own F-8s and also sell parts. They'd probably also be able to supply any other parts you'd need. Another good source for mechanical parts is Job Lot Automotive of Queens NY. Rod's phone number is (616) 875-7774. I don't have a web address for him. Chuck's web page and Job Lot's web page are below. Stu Chuck's Trucks, Job Lot [Reply]  [No Email]

Mechanically the truck is in good shape, however I have been struggling finding the correct reserve air tanks and I am sure this is just the beginning. Unfortunately, the truck spent its first twenty years in a falling down warehouse in Philadelphia and it put a real hurting on the body. Thanks again for your help! Matt   [Reply]  [No Email]
