While we're on the subject,my friend,Ron,WAS converting a '49 Studebaker 2-ton,into a 4X4. He swapped the front axle,and acquired a 300 Ford motor for it. He hacked the radiator support,as well as the front cross-member,to make room for the longer engine. When he had problems,trying to figure the motor mounts,and bell crank,he gave up. Luckily,he sold it to Billy W,(the guy with the '59 Viking bus),who's going with a 350/350 Auto. I'm glad it's going to someone,who'll bring the "Old Girl" back to "Life". And the drive-train will be Chevy!
