I have a 1945 1 1/2 ton. Its a work truck, and I've rebuilt the front end,had all the springs rebuilt, and gone thru all the brakes.I've got a 1955/235 that still doesn't have a 1000 miles on it, cause I don't drive that much anymore. It has a working 2-speed and I still use a crash box 4 speed. In all the places I've gotten parts, I think these guys are the greatest, they know there stuff, and I like getting NOS in the original boxes.
