Looking at pics of G7107s, it looks like the rear axle is centered in the third bay on the bed, talking about troop seat support upright areas as for bays. The M36 drive shaft worked perfect for that distance and both cross member moves utilized at least some of the factory holes already there.

I took the main double rear cross member loose (you can see the six holes where it was originally) and moved it forward to be centered around the new axle position to give it clearance for vertical movement and balance of support. The last two of the holes still line up and can be reused.

I took the cross member off and flipped it over so that the flat side was down and moved it forward to where it could use it to support my hanger bearing.

The first thing I did was to remove the bed and then the rear walking beam suspension system. I had been planning this for a long time and lucked up and found an M36 rear drive shaft with the hanger bearing assembly a couple of years ago at the GA SS Rally. I think I got it from Pete PCTrans...

I have had this idea for a long time, and have finally gotten serious about working on it. I want to make one of my Deuces look like a G7107 WWII 2-ton single axle truck. I have seen too many singled out bobbed trucks, but I don't think I have ever seen one singled out and left long.
