Bill is correct. I did not read the description of the vehicles covered correctly. All panel trucks used the same doors and and were called model 82. Ford made panel commercial and trucks. The commercial is on the 112" chassis.

Pickup and panel truck doors are not the same.The front fenders are different from thecars. The frame on pikups and panels are the same as cars.There where two different hoods used with a differnet latch.The trucks came with one seat,the pass seat was an option.The front floor was metal with a removeable trans cover,the rear floor was wood with metal skid strips like the pickup.

The body parts manual does not list a P/N for the doors on a pickup, so a good guess is that the front doors on the panel (model 82) are the same as on all of the other commercial vehicles except the cab over.

The truck is a panel. I have heard that at panel has the front clip of a pick up, and a sedan delivery has a front clip of a sedan.

HI pickup a copy of HEMMING'S MOTOR NEWS at you local magazine store,and place add for WANTED, on this web site, also antique car flea markets have many parts, if you a near PA, visit HERSHEY in early OCT, I am positive you will find what you need,if you live in the USA, ALSO spend the money for a couple of books on your specfic model of what you are working on this is a big help. a picture posted here also will be a good idea.and is worth a 1000, words my 3 cents 37RAGTOPMAN

Is your truck a panel, or a sedan delivery? In either case, finding parts will likely be difficult because most commercial vehicles were run until they fell apart. Even when body parts are found, they are often hardly worth the effort. The sedan delivery shared many parts with the DeLuxe car, while the larger Ford trucks used the sheet metal from the standard cars.
