Thanks for the info but I really cannot figure out what this has to do with a 1948 Ford. Also in the future just post once. Multiple posts saying the same thing are not at all necessary.

I recently sold a 1948 International 1-1/2 ton wheat truck along wihth my neuspeed sway bar , flathead six with a four speed and two speed rear end.
In fourth gear with the rear end in high, top speed was around 45 mph. In first gear (granny) and the rear end in low, you could release the clutch while it idled and get out and walk along beside it.
Fast it wasn't, but it would pull a house down and never get stuck.
It also had a 16 foot bed with hoist that made it great to have around the acreage.
I miss it.
They say ton and a half in this car, but it was more like three tons of capacity. I had two tons of rock and suspension barely squatted.
Great runner, nothing beats those old flatheads!
Heavy duty four speed tranny is hard to get used to, no synchros, learn how to double-clutch.
