Great question. Course I don't have any answers but have another question.

There also seems to be a connection between GVW, axle ratio, and wheel/tire size:
Listings in John Gunnell's, Standard Catalog of Light-Duty Dodge Trucks, for the 1947 WDX mention:
4.89:1/7.50x16 tires with a GVW of 7600 and 5.83:1/9.00x16 tires with a GVW of 8700.

So the question is can we assume that GVW is an indicator of what the original axle ratio and wheel/tires were?
