Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver

Sorry for no updates.....not a lot to report I guess.

Last week I installed the floor mat and shift boot Newfisher sent me.

Today I installed a stereo and some speakers, along with an amp and sub for the box I had built below the seat.

Still have a couple speakers to install, but at least I have some tunes now!!

After flushing the cooling system multiple times it seems to be cured. Solid 190 all the time once warmed up!!

I have been driving it daily if possible. Mostly short trips around town, but tonight I took a 15 mile cruise at highway speed. Took him all the way up to 70mph without issue. Plenty of pedal left, but no idea of the RPM's I was turning. Tracks down the road great......no shakes or wobbles.

I can hear a distinct vibration at anything over 50mph. Some sort of drivetrain vibration I would guess. I do not feel it in the steering wheel.

Not sure if it is a driveshaft issue? Transmission makes a lot of gear noise all the time, IMO any way. I really have nothing to compare it to.

I need to get it over to my father in laws place and put it on the hoist to change all the fluids in the next week or so.

Doing work!!
