I wanted an almost completely stock ’41. I like that because people look at it, ride or drive it and are either reminded of their childhood or educated a little on how far we have come with trucks in 70 years. I also like driving slower on county roads.
Almost stock to me is.
A ’53 powerglide engine because it is more dependable, but looks stock to all but a few.
A 12 volt electrical system because 6 volt parts are hard to get while on the road
A 3.38 rear gear because 42 MPH is just not quite enough.
Skinny radial tires because the look close to stock, but ride softer and don’t tend to shake the truck apart
