I honestly don't believe it's as simple as you state above, especially to form a definitive answer, but yeah....SOMETHING like that! I'm still scratchin' my butt trying to wrap my understanding around ALL of this in it's entirety. Look carefully at the FRONT motor mount extensions (as well as other details) on that chassis picture. That is a '41-'48 frame. DD
