It's a '46 1-ton with a 228 and a 134-1/2 inch wheel base
These six-lug wheels, are they similar to what is on the later 1/2-ton trucks, or more like what are on the larger trucks?
the six lug are like the larger trucks.
after looking at one of the pics it appears that drive line is open all the way with a carrier. i cant tell if its original or coverted some time after but the rear cover had the correct logo for the period.
