That's Great. It seems every one is putting a Coyote or Godzilla or Cummins engines with Superduty axles. I'm glad to see that it will be orginal. Looking forward to this build!

[@71FordGator]

That will be a great truck when you finish it. Are you planning on using all original type of drive line components or modern drive line? Great find.

[@garthsanders]

Going all original on this one. I have a 337 ford big block flathead and transmission. The only modern nicety i am planning are some modern oversized 20" military tires....... should be awesome! Still need to scource the correct rear end and two sets of ring gear and pinions but we'll get there

The center section looks like a timken.

[@garthsanders]

Thats correct, these are the timkin clambshell axles. I am currently looking for a Ford F5 rear axle for this project and i would love to find two sets of 5.14 ring and pinions

@@garthsanders Studebaker used the timkin axles too. Might look there also. Good luck on this project. Should be interesting.
