Re: 1946 Superior Bus 1 ton frame swap??

my p-30 frame donor was an independent front chassis,rear was a bigger hd unit / so i bought a late model {at the time a 2009? } 1 ton dually rear -14 bolt axle - bolted right in ,w/new u-bolts and had the rear spring eye un rolled and rolled the opposite way /actually lowered vehicle ! and removed some xtra leafs . the donor chassis was a box -tool truck that hauled alot of weight! the steering box looks like it will work? maybe roll it back a tiny amount or use a "borgeson" u-joint ! i have it stored away ,need to drag it out , i had peeled the roof off to remove critter debris and trash /between the inner & outer and paint ,seems like it had a million screws !its a unfinished project that i need to get finished ! i always need a vehicle that will haul a trailer somewhere,plus it has lots of lay-back and stretch area -plus its possible to sleep in the rear! thanks mike
