Question

ford f1 truck
Will a 1953 ford f100 rear fender fit a 1951 ford f1 truck? I've been unable to find an f1 rear fender made of metal.

Answer
The 53 fender is a different style. It has a lip around the wheel opening and does not have the horizontal line half way up the fender.
My stock answer for “where can I find….” Is to latch on to a copy of Hemmings Motor News, the old car hobbies classified bible. There are many companies that supply parts for old cars and you will find them in Hemmings. www.hemmings.com
