Would appreciate any suggestions or info on converting a '40s 2wd. A few years ago I picked up a strange little '46 1-ton 2wd with a spitfire. Someone had tried to make it look like a semi (air horns, etc.) and put in a 1/2ton front end so it would look like a hot rod...kinda (back end sits up higher). Bought it because it had a '50s Mercury sleeper on it I just had to have. Got it running and then got distracted with other projects...getting interested in it again. Looks like a WC front axle will be a bolt in, and the gearing is the same. The wheelbase is a little longer than a WC, but it will work well as a flatbed.
