Front end questions

Good morning, can anyone tell me a good front end to put on a 49 F1 that is going to house a 24V 5.9. I am trying to make it 4wd also with an allison behind the engine.

Welcome . If you are going to make it 4x4 you will definitely be limited . Width would be first as any full size would be far too wide so you will need to use a small to midsize front , next would be straight axle or independent . A straight axle would be the easiest but would need to be able to match gear ratios of your rear diff and have a compatable front drive layout . I believe the only trucks - info you are going to find will be from complete frame swaps . As with anything this complicated you will need ALLOT of measuring . Good luck .
