You are almost there why make more work for yourself? 
I know I can't stop myself either!
I had a hell of a brain fart the other day. We have a couple mid 40s 1 1/2 ton GMC trucks and not enough good front sheet metal.
I was thinking It wouldnt be that hard to make a shorter version of a ww2 duece and a half using dodge 1ton parts. Call it a half duece.
It would match my 42 jeep. Now all i need is a 4 bamger perkins for the jeep |
How far back did you find that post? That had to be atleast 2-3 years back I posted that.
