I've just about got the '46 running so it's time to think about doing something to get it on the freeway at speeds above 50 mph. I read the only thread I could find on swaps for art deco 3/4 tons but it was a lighter truck with 6 lug wheels. Mine is the heavier unit with 8 lug wheels. I've also read the 14 bolt rear end swaps but they seem to be mostly for AD vehicles. Would a 14 bolt work in a '46 3/4 ton? Right now everything else is stock but I'm seriously considering a 235 full pressure engine for some more reliability.

thanks for any input
Joe
