Back in high school I drove a late 31 steel top wide bed. Best it could do was 63mph down hill. That baby was screaming as I think it had a 4.11 rear end. Later on with the 29murray sedan with B, press on weights, Police head, Stromberg, light flywheel, cam, Borg warner overdrive, 16" wheels, I could drive on interstate 95 for hours at 55-65mph with no worries, brakes and steering were right. Did this year and year out on our trips to Maine. The current owner is enjoying this car in Texas. Rick.
