The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 1949 3800 pickup build senarios - Your input

I just purchased a 1949 Chevy 3800 pickup, original and intact. In other words it is all there, complete with the original drive train and 216 engine. Now I would appreciate your opinions on what to upgrade and still keep the original look inside and out. I do know that I am going to upgrade the wheels and tires. I have a 261 engine block and some 235 engine parts as well. Heads, blocks intake/exhaust manifolds, cam shafts, etc.

Your build scenarios would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dean
