Ok i will FINALLY be picking up the '49 on the 15th; since I am planning on using it as a heavy hauler I have a 454 ready to drop in. It will eventually get an 8-71 blower but for now I need to know what to expect as far as problems go.

From what i have found, cooling, steering location and exhaust clearence are the most common issues. Is there anything else that I am missing?

Also, I have an aquiantence wanting to sell me a 1991 3500 Dually. It's just a rolling chassis but I am pretty sure I sould strip the body off of it and use the frame on the 49. That might clear up alot of the clearance issues.

Tell me what you all think.

Thanks...
