I use to buy surplus mail dispatcher jeeps just for the goodies , the front straight axle , the dana posi rear , steering column and wheel , shifter and e brake . All look the part for a 30-40 ford . The rear axle ratios were anywhere from 273 to 411 and very narrow . The earlier ones even took 51/2” x5 wheels ( jeep center diam is karger than ford )
