Like so many of you I got my interest in Chevy trucks from my Grandfather. Well, now I start my second project the 49 GMC longbed 3/4 ton. I have decided to swap the rear end to a 4.11 and possibly the whole rolling chassis with a 1960 rolling chassis 3/4 ton with torsion bar suspension (havent decided yet). Now my Grandfather is a retired carpenter and I have decided to go wooden flatbed with wooden stakesides so I can involve my grandfather in the restoration. I could really use some ideas so If any of you have some pic`s show em off for me. Thanks in advance.
