Any know where to find modern front supension for '49 COE?

he guys I just purchased a '49 COE and I wanted to make it into a car hauler and put bags on it. Everyone is telling me to get a crewcab dullie frame but I was just wondering if I could get by with using the original frame...

Has anyone seen a modern front suspension kit for this truck?

Thanks!

Re: Any know where to find modern front supension for '49 COE?

Hey thanks for the info but the frame I have is a 2 ton frame. I'm wanting to swap out the front suspension. I haven't found anyone so far that has done the type of modifications or who knows what might fit the frame.

So can anyone help me out?
