This is great information Jorb;
I bought a 49 Chevy 3100, however, discovering it may be something else or a hybrid. Had a replaced engine with block of 51 and head of 52 and had helper springs. So maybe the PO changed the complete drive line.
I purchased the complete 1949 kit to upgrade the Ring and Pinion gears to 3:55 from Patrick. The front bearing that was sent to me in kit is too big and they sent a second which is same. Too big. Is it possible the torque tube is of a different size and if so I would like to buy the correct bearing to complete the upgrade.
Thanks
Pat
