I missed the front end too......that’s one of those things, once you see it, that’s all you see...and the tires do look really weak....my tag line on the HAMB is “ I’m a black wall guy in a whitewall world”.....so ya, different tires....can of spray paint....something!......Mark

If the Wagoner front suspension is independent A frame suspension it would be a big job to move it forward to center it in the wheel wells. I have no knowledge of the later Jeep chassis, but if the front is an axle front it could easily be fixed.

Guessing some folks don’t like the 48-52 F2-3s. Ford got it wrong trying to center rear axle in wheel wells.
