Thats an approach I've never seen before. The dual axle is mounted below what used to be the front of the frame. You can still see the radiator mount crossmember and the lower radiator baffle too. They moved the front axle, engine, transmission and sheetmetal to what was once the rear of the frame. Bubba was being very creative that day!!

Maybe bubba was ambitious that day. No one told him most people just reverse the way you drive it, that way the engine is behind you. If a person brought it home-do you think there would be any reason to save the frame? Ill get a few more pics and see if you guys know what the engine is.

Converting a non-winch to a winch G506 is quite an undertaking. The front spring perch on a winch truck is actually attached to the winch extensions, not the frame like a non-winch truck would be. Seven solid rivets are used to attach each side of the winch extension. The two larger holes next to 6 & 7 are where the front shocks bolt up.

This is a better view of my winch extension. Removed it only so I could repair the bad case of winch droop. It was used as a pusher truck late in its life, and the extensions drooped about 1-1/2" in the 24-25" that they protrude from the frame.

WW2 chevy, would that extension be very hard to replicate? Say for a winch truck that has been modified
