Info and definately parts for the big trucks are from 'Chuck's Trucks' in Conneticut. I have had quite a few pre war big fords, but have settled comfortably into the 42-47 with their juice brakes, and best of all the hotchkiss open drive with longitudinal leaf springs. Also you need the 'Green Bible'. Ford chassis manual. Enjoy your build. In my opinion there is no endeavor so satisfying as bring back an old vehicle, and extra points for an old Ford Big truck.
