Here is the thread by Chris when he bought the truck.
No decision then if it was made in 1944.

Little late on my reply! but there was a lot of decision on the year of the truck in that thread and 1944 is part of that decision.

Intend on fitting 3" drop axle to the front and probably remove a leaf or 2
At the rear I'm not sure but thinking of raising shackles to give 2.5" then remove 3 or 4 leaves. The plate that the leaf pack sits could be altered to give another 1". After that maybe I could reverse the long leaf. There is 8" of clearance between axle tubes and chassis so I have plenty of room. I am trying to avoid flipping the axle, maybe that would be ire straight forward
