Restored a 57 Chevy with a mostly stock 327 and three speed auto. It had a smooth ride and was comfortable around town. A bit too bouncy. Steering was heavy in the parking lot. It struggled on the highway. Lots of wind and road noise, and the noticeable shaking from the wind at 70mph.
Has anyone here driven a classic huge American late 50s beast? What is it like to drive those things...

Who the fuck puts a fucking gasoline engine in a commercial fucking truck?

It's probably a multifuel engine that will run on gas, diesel, waste oil, cat pis, fuck anything that burns.

Gas Monkey show how it should be done.
New brakes / shocks. Big block engine. All that comfort.

>how to do it
spend 10s of thousands on chassis and suspension
then spend more on interior and luxuries
then even more on a modern engine and drivetrain
then youre still going to die in a 35mph crash lel

Its not difficult.
Not all of them had power steering but the wheel is big and turns easy.
