that nash looked heavier than a 1t - 20" wheels...  i think it'd have
something heavier than a d70 rear too.

there are big-truck front axles; check the meritor or axletech
[successors to rockwell] websites.  dunno where you'd get them.

not a nv5600, but you could bolt a f500 np540fl right up to that 401
with a t150/t170 bell...  t150 clutch disc and pilot too.

btw, thought i heard gm had a high pinion d70fa in 1t 4x4 for a while,
5.13 geared.  they're probably all ifs now.

also btw gm used the nv5600 too.  it'd go well with the nv273 from a
f550.

same as above.  you could probably replace those 2 1/2t axles with
modern school bus ones; both ford and navistar have rear disks.

for car hauling, i'd put a pintle hook on it and tow a car carrier
like dealers use.
