I just bought a 49 GMC Burb and am new to the whole world of AD trucks.
These are my desires and I'd love some advice on how to get there:
A truck that is drivable: good brakes, good hadling, enough power, comfortable seats.
I know I want front disks, do I want rear too?
I think I want it lowered a bit.
I'm pretty sure I want a straight six. Should I look for a 270 or 302 or go with something easy to find like a 235?
A manual tranny is fine with me. Which one would you use with the straight six from above?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
