Dan,
I am not positive but when I was thinking about installing a 40 front end on my 46 so both trucks would match is when someone told me about the firewall. I do not know what all would have to be changed. The firewall sticks out appox. 3/4 inch more on the 46 and that is where the hood latch brackets are mounted so the hood side/ latch would need modified. I found the difference where the front fenders bolt up when installing patch panels in my 46. The 46 has the fenders bolt to the cab different than the 40. I am sure it has been done and can be done but modifications would also have to be made. I can get pictures of the differences that I am aware of.
