I was just thinking about that today as a matter of fact. How tough is it to put together a WF from a WC. I like the styled version. I know a guy who has a pair of frame rails and a rear end from a WC. Wonder who that is Big Al? LOL! I understand the steering is different from the WC along with the front axle. Anything else different? I think the styled WF's are pretty cool. Though it would be fun to build one from a WC... Like I don't have enough projects now that aren't finished.... Steve@B&B |

| i too own a 49 in the someday restore process but i have a question. In the before picture it shows a nice new battery bracket. In that position do you have to move the fuel tank to get the battery in and out? i did so ireveresed the bracket the side of my box is removable so the battery slides right in and out. I have never seen a decent picture of what the original battery box bracket goes of looks like AAny ideas TMan |

Have a styled and unstyled models. Believe the side rails are several inches shorter and the differential is more narrow. |

Tractorman, I loosen the bolts that hold the box to the frame and it tips out enough to remove the battery if needed. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

| Steve: there are a lot of differences. Rear end housing is quite a bit narrower. Front axle and wheels are different. Steering column and box are different. They are quite common in my area. Local wrecking yard has 4 or 5 in there. They come up for sale fairly often around here. Maybe you need to do a road trip!LOL |
