My '59 Jeep FC170 had a small flathead 6. A lot of people swapped other
engines into them. It had a 9ft box, but was overall shorter than
shortbed pickups. The Dana 44? rear axle was very sturdy, but the
suspension and brakes weren't real happy with more than a ton of load.
And a ton to the rear of the rear axle would take the weight off of the
front.
