Tim--
On a 41, I agree that the route you chose is probably the best way to
go. On the later trucks, especially 55-59 TF trucks, the Camaro front
fits better than it does on 41s, and is a reasonable way to go if a
person has the time, and ability, to do the job. And it would save
about half the cost (assuming one rebuilds everything).
Sounds like you're making good progress on your truck!
