Check out Sacramento Vintage Ford for the tilt front end. I am pretty sure they have them for 48 - 50.

... but they are undoubtedly for use with a stock frame, aren't they?

There was a post last week about fit-up problems with someone's tilt kit.

If you're looking for new front metal sheet metal parts for your truck you will not find any. No one makes complete front fenders for the '48-52 trucks.
