556Motorsports , Mine 1948 6400 ex fire truck . I put a Ford motor home Daina 60 HD rear axle with 4.11 ratio in my 48 , but mine has a stock 5 speed crash box and 5th gear is 1 to 1 . It does 50-55 mph @ 3500 rpm's 216 cid ,HEI ignition , 70's Mono Jet carb from 250 cid 6 .
I put a flat bed on it .
Just a thought for you if you put a car hauler bed on it find a nice small old Airstream trailer . pull the axle put it on skids , now you can pull up it up onto the car hauler .
I did a 4930 mile round trip with mine in 2014 from Atlanta GA to Dolan Spring AZ and back . Before rear axle change @ 45 mph 6 days out 6 days back . I had a great time .
A vintage Fire truck is neat but as a classic bike magazine says " Don't Hide Them Ride Them '
