I just took a call from a customer inquiring about one of my T5 kits. He said he first had to convert his rear end to open drive. I thought 46-48 pickups had open drive? I didn't argue but have I been wrong all these years? I have what I thought was a 46-48 pickup 3 speed trans in the storage building and it's open drive. An inquiring mind wants to know. Thanks

After some more research the customer appears to have purchased a service manual for a car not a pickup. He may have not looked under the truck?

I didn't know the '46 F1s had the bullnose trim on their hoods.
Sure looks good.
