Ran 850 miles on the road round trip last week, mostly highway driving 65-75 mph. I have a '49 Chevy 1/2 ton, '56 235 (.30 over) '848 head', single H-W (thanks Tom Langdon), Fentons, dual 30" glasspacks, (thanks Jack), '62 3sp+od (thanks Jack), '57 3.90 rear from a 1/2 ton truck. Stock suspension, but upgrade to conventional dual action shocks with Buffalo mounts all around. Averaged 20 mpg.
I run LT 215 85R 16's with no tubes on stock wheels. with the .70 overdrive and 3.90 open rear end I yield (3.9 X .70= 2.73) which is great highway cruising.
Many thanks to Jack Halton, Tony and Joy Pascarella, Tom Langdon and Buffalo Engineering for inspiration and support.
