Can anyone tell me what Ford Part#21T1600 is,
I am having trouble with my parts book, wondering if this is a 1947 Ford Front Fender for a 122" WBase Tonner....
Thank you!

I have found a NOS left front fender (REVISED Part#21T-16000) I am trying to determine the Ford truck it fits.
The seller advises it has this part # on it.
My 1947 Ford Truck Sales Handbook (Dated 11/46) shows Standard tires for 114"WBase are 6.50/16, for the Tonner it shows 7.00-17 & the 1 1/2 Ton & 2ton show 7.50-20 size.
Any thoughts on why the Part# is 16000 & why the Ford Sales Handbook numbers do not read 6/18?
Thank you!

THANK YOU For your replies!
Are you saying 21T is for a Tonner or bigger?
I did not want to confuse this discussion with Wheelbase measurements but when you made reference to wheel sizes I referred to my sales handbook that had various wheel sizes for the 3 sizes of trucks (not including COE.s) by wheelbase.
I hope the seller is misreading the last 6 that he saying is a 0, I am rechecking with him......

Thank you!
In 46 & 47 they produced 1/2 ton, Tonners, 1 1/2 & 2Ton models only. I assume you agree then that Tonner and bigger models used the same front fenders (excluding COE?)
Thanks!

122" 3/4 ton trucks were available from '38 or '39 thru '47 as panels, express and probably platform stake. I'm not sure about the platform stake version, it was available as a tonner so I assume it was as a 3/4 tonner also. I have seen a couple of '42-'47 3/4 ton express trucks. They are odd ducks, I don't think very many were built. There are a lot of tonners around. I have my Dad's '47 express, but I no longer have the bed, we have a flat bed on it now.
The 3/4 tonner, IRRC, used the same large bolt pattern on the wheels as the tonner, but used 1/2" lug bolts instead of the 3/4" the tonner used. The 3/4 tonner also had its own specific part number prefix on parts that were unique to the 3/4 ton trucks. For instance, a 21C prefix would be commercial or 1/2 ton; 21D prefix would be 3/4ton ( D denoting parts specific to 3/4 ton); 21Y would be tonner or 1 ton ( Y denoting parts specific to 1 ton); and 21T would be for trucks larger than 1 ton. There is some overlap in parts usage, while a part may have been designed and assigned to a specific model it could be used in other models also, Hence the 21T prefix for the fenders on your truck.
I hope this helps,but it is probably clear as mud

Thank you again for the info. I too, have a 47 Express, along with a Dearborn 46 Commercial pickup and a 47 1 1/2 ton Flatbed. I would like to converse with you some more, if that works for you can you email me at rickr@lakesideind.com?
Thanks so much!
