47-55.1 Origianl Rear suspension or upgrade? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 49 Chevy 3100 and have a 235 with dual carb and 4 on the floor. Installing new M2 IFS and 2000 Chevy s10 373 rear end. I am wondering about rear suspension.

Should I be looking at the 4 link rear?

Update the leaf springs to something smoother?

Or original leaf springs and just swap rear end?

I am leaning to original for now. To save on time to drive and cost. As well I am novice to welding so don't want to bite off more then I can chew.
