As a general rule we do down under, mainly for less wear and tear. May also help with fuel mileage (but if I worried about that, I wouldn't own a 1941 truck)..

Hi Tony,
Removing front propshaft will make little difference to fuel economy as the front wheels are still rotating the drive shafts and diff in the front axle, this is where the drag occurs. Unless someone can produce a free wheeling hub, there is no practical solution unless you are prepared to remove the front drive shafts.
