Welcome, David.
Effie's welcome.
Do not know the F3.
I had a '53 F-100 long ago - found a '56 big window cab, removed the spot welds, pulled out the cab-back section, did same to '53, and added big window section into the '53. Great fits. Looked good, for having all original seams and contours .... back in 1975.
