Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver

I rode about 4" off ground on my 49', rarely a problem and where I live, dirt roads and crappy east coast paved roads, its was fine. My buddy has a 54' belair that previous owner put a camaro clip on ): he can't hardly even bag it, but for now he is running a narrow set of front rims. So what you could do is choose different rims and even a 14" rim like I run, with my WWW they are 26" tall. I know that is prolly not in your to do list, but that is an option if turning becomes a headache.

Be careful to whom you take it to for alignment. Most shops don't know jack, esp with your IRS they will in awww. There was only one shop (an hour from me) that had a machine capable of aligning a lowered truck with those fenders.
