Hi Rob.

Not unusual for the early Ford to have one or both GM axles. We have a Ford rolling frame at the barn with a similar set up. And the Kars museum has an early cab 11 CGT with the HD special cast front axle and heavy cast GM rear axle.

What I find particularly interesting feature is the lack of the tool box on your cab 11. As far as I know the Chev cab 11 like mine had the tool box, which is configured inside to store two of the 2 gal POW cans. No spare tire bracket since they came equipped with run flat.

Can I ask for one more picture.... focusing on the gas tank spout and the space between cab and cargo box.

One more thing..... how is the 2B1 box held to the frame.... mine had 2 long bolts mounted upside down.... bottom and top were inserted into a flat piece of steel which pinched the frame, wood and box bottom U shape brace.

Your is a very nice unmolested model. Still a few floating around out West....Terry had shown me pictures of a Ford F15a which was in similar original prestine condition and still running.

Cheers

PS two more observation....... your truck has helper springs and the stiff/rigid mirro arms......
