It is running a Falcon straight 6 and auto! As you can see the nose has been extended to fit the ford 250

The replacement engine is an interesting departure from the original wartime driveline. It is a part of the history of that vehicle, and in some ways should not be reversed. In your situation, I would scrape and paint and rebuild it as a Fire Authority truck circa whatever year you choose. Likely whatever the SN of the engine tells you.
No one here will critique your workmanship or your intent. Especially if your intent is to have a functioning spare vehicle for off roading.
