Somehow I think you've "nailed it"

Although a straight axle up front would work just as well for me

good friend of mine brought a steel 39 (same shape body ) with 41 front end had been sitting in a yard in south africa for 52 years un touched

just happened to be in the right place at the right time the car is one of the best iv ever seen and complete i wont say what he paid but lets say it cost him more to bring it back to perth than the cost of the origanal purchase as you know if you can find one you will pay upwards of 60 grand got to love those south africans had no idea what he had but was over the moon with the money he got for it
