Re: [oletrucks] 1949 GMC

I put tube shocks on the front of my 1949 Chevy pickup using a kit from
Pickups Northwest  www.pickupsnw.com   It is a complete bolt-on kit with
upper and lower mounts.  Very easy install.  However I am still looking
for a kit for the 3/4 ton rear tube shocks.   For instructions on
installing 4.10 gears in place of your stock 4.57 gears check out my
site at:

If your 1949 GMC has the original GMC 228 engine I think that you can
put a 302 block in without much modification.  The '49 GMC radiator sits
farther forward than a Chevy with a 216.
