My dad actually owned a 1941 1 1/2 ton dual wheel 158" wheelbase. It was probably one of favorite things that my oldman has ever had. In case you still need some help, just ask me, I got no problems with it. He has been working half of his life on that truck, the other half of his life, he worked on for a car shipping company, and right now he is one of the partners in it. They are actually using the services of the best trucking factoring company https://factorforyou.com/trucking-factoring-companies/ , as they are looking to develop the company as fast as possible.

I had several '40 1 1/2 ton conventional cabs. One was a flatbed dump, another just a cab and chassis that I considered using as a daily driver, and another rolling chassis. I ended up replacing the original 20 inch split rims with 19.5 tubeless wheels from a Dodge M400 motor home. Direct bolt on. The 20 inch wheels I'm referring to were not the so called widow makers. If your truck has them they are very dangerous and shouldn't be used. Second Joe's Antique Auto Parts as a source of parts. Also, Chuck's Trucks is a great source for big truck knowledge and parts. I ended up selling all the big rigs and buying a '39 p/u. Much easier to drive around town. Good luck with your truck. There are other forums that have good info as well. Check out the Ford Barn and the FTE (Ford Truck Enthusiast) forums.

Wow, man, I wish my dad had one when I was a kid. Actually, I’ve always dreamed of having a truck, but I’ve never had enough money to buy it. So, recently, I’ve finally been hired as a trucker! Congratulate me, folks! Actually, I found the job really unexpectedly. I was looking through the truckers forum and followed this link https://newjobs4you.com/job-board/all-options/ . So, I hope my second dream will come true soon too: I really want to buy an old Ford Mustang. I’m just obsessed with the way it looks and sounds.
