Default servi-car front end

hey there folk's . new guy here with a new to me 1945 Servi-car . currently it has a aftermarket springer that's @ 10" over I would like to replace it . Since a stock springer is out of my budget I was thinking of using a FL front end.
Any of you folk's out there know what year & model front end's will fit my Servi , & if any what mod's I may have to do .
tks

'45 was built with a springer front end. They changed to the glide front end in '57 (somebody correct me if I'm wrong on the year). I don't know if they changed the frame or not. My father and I restored a '64 and it's the glide front end. I've never looked close at a springer to see what all changed. I would advise you, if you can find one for a good price, put it back original to keep the value.
