Took possession of a 49 3100, about 3 weeks ago. It's in pretty good shape, that is little rust and pretty straight body. I'm planning on a restro mod. Plan on keeping the 235 that it came in it, it has 4 on the floor (granny) with 4.11, but I've got a brand new 3.55. I'd like to keep the generator but up grade to 12v. Add A//C when money allows. I'm wondering about the ride? Can any one tell me how it should ride, with stock suspension? What about braking, I'd like to do a little hi way driving 60-70, but don't want it drifting off the road, or unable to stop. Thanks, looks like a really great community.
