I was looking for a grill, ad a guy called me last night and said he had a perfect one in a 2 ton. Problem is it is a 3 hour drive to look at it, just want to know if it is the same or not. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,501 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,501 | I am not 100% on this but I believe they are the same, I got parts off of a 1 1/2 ton and it is the same, I would think the 2 ton would be the same.

Anybody else? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 104 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 104 | I have a 52 2 ton and some other smaller trucks, I do know the fenders and hoods are bigger. I have started working on getting the front clip back on and have noticed the splash pans that go in front of the radiator are the same width but are longer front to back. I think the grills are a little bigger on the 2 tons also.

I've gotten lots of great parts off the big truck for my '46 ie. windshield, hoods, HD radiator, dual horns etc etc. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 104 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 104 | Ok guess the earlier ones are a bit different, I stand corrected or something. Think I missed the part where the OP said it was a 46 so not an AD. Learned something for sure.
