Re: 55 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100
All I can say is the 100% TRUE 1941 Chevrolet light surty truck slogan :
If It Steers Like A Truck It's NOTA CHEVROLET ! .
Putting the wrong size tires made for hard steering .
I ran TL Radials with 4" wide white walls and my '49 steered easily .
The forward drive shaft support & seal was called an "Oakie BUSHING" and many of the replacement ones didn't have any seal, why they continued to allow the tranny's oil to run down the torque tube and over fill the final drive .
I bet you didn't know they're called that because the aftermarket replacement ones were designed and manufactured by The Oklahoma Machine Company.....
