Buddy...After struggling with my very stock '51 3100 PU for 8 years...I decided to go strictly resto-mod for both my Burbs(;49 &'52)...both have power steering & disc brakes, MII front ends, new GM Crate 350/330hp, Auto trans (TH400 & 700R4)3.42 & 3.55 rears and AC ...aside from those mods both trucks look absolutely stock (but they are fully accessorized). They are very reliable and I can drive them anywhere
