I had a 48 model 404 (1 1/2) ton for about 17 years. It had a 98 hp Hercules JXB in it. It was a real groaner. Over about 45 mph and the pistons were swapping holes. I repowered it once with a JXLD (120 hp?) so it had more power but even with more motor it still had granny gears. Eventually I pulled the cab and bed off of it and set them onto a 75 IH Loadstar 1600. Found a set of 10x22.5s to replace the 8.25x20s and with that IH 345 in it it would hightail right along. What killed the fun of it all was commercial plates and insurance ran about $3k/year. I restored/repainted it a couple of times over the years. First time the all too common red w/black fenders but the second time all original red and paid to have the green and white pinstriping put on it. I have some photos of it somewhere. I ought to bring them in and get them scanned sometime. All I have left of it is one side hood emblem that I keep on the wall.
