Default Re: '40 front fenders

Ya know it's kinda funny... I could stretch the frame and make it as a 4wd 1/2 ton pickup, but I have a lot of trucks, all single cabs ( No grandkids or dogs can fit). What if.... Henry saw the writing on the wall about the love of the ww2 set and their jeeps, 4wd and hunting, and instead of letting IH with their scouts and jeep pickups and the CJs and built an early bronco, before the early bronco. My kids (in their 30s) would love to drive their kids around the island on summer visits in the rig they learned to drive in. I'm talking two bench seats , no roof or top *(Phaeton) ?? .... Single doors behind the cowl and an almost roadster /phaeton behind that with a sloping spare tire on the tail end. I really don't need another wood bodied car here for the maintanence, and worry of bad weather. So to answer your question, an open body six passenger open car. Something that would clean the clocks of a bunch of local Hill-climb guys!!
