All,

sorry for the confusion... i had to abondon the 49 one ton .... just too much modificaiton needed to the frame to make it work. and when I found a 3/4 ton 5 window (i assume a 3/4 ton because of the floating axle that came with) i jumped on it. I will be updating my profile with photos and narrative of how I got to where I am today on this projet ..... possibly even including major marriage 'suprises' that came to light the weekend i brought the one ton home about two years ago ... na, i had better stick to the project ....

anyway thanks for the feedback on the width ... I have since found out that you can purchase wheels that can pull the tire in to avoid contact with fenders....
