Notes:
Note that this body shell is identical between each of the F-series models the company released. In actuality, the models were Phase IV F3 engines. Most of the models had a hump in the center. This was due to the shell being pulled from the die before it was fully cured. Another quirk about these models is that they have EMD E8-style numberboards; correct replacement boards were available later.
