Hello,
I just purchased 1949 Ford F-1 last week. Nice and rusty. This is my first project, and I am very excited! While disassembling my truck, I have encountered few troubles so far and you guys can help me.
1.Rear fender is extremely bad shape. I cannot find a replacement for f-1. LMC nor NPD. Can I replace with F-100 fender?? Any online stores that I can go to??
2. the truck has tones of old, rusty, stuck bolts that I just can't get out…Any techniques or suggestions.
3. Is there any easy way to remove doors?? I just cannot remove old rusty bolts!
Thank you!

congrats on the new project. first, get a dennis carpenter catalog. second the trick with rust is patience. get a product like nutz-off or any rust remover. Hell even wd-40 will help, (not lots, but it will help) Put lots on one night let it soak, then a lil tapping the next day, and add more solution. be patient, and keep doing it. you'll get it just fine

That is a good idea to soak the several nights before . If you have any thread on the stud showing use a wire brush to clean them and also use a thread chaser (Thread die) to clean the threads. Mac Antique Auto Parts has the rear fenders for your truck(fiberglass though). As for the doors same thing soak with your oil and get and impact screw driver(the kind you hit with a hammer) and the right size Phillips bit. Last resort is to drill and re-tap. Dude
