The Ford Barn - View Single Post - How did you make your 1934 or 1936 Ford coupe more driver-friendly?

I put the Mitchell overdrive on my 38 truck 3.78 gears. Really made a difference on driving at hwy speeds. Plus it's truly a bolt on that doesn't destroy anything. (but you have 3.54 gears). 39 pedals and 40s backing plates. New king pins fit properly and all the shackles and rod ends replaced. I'm happy with its ride-ability now.

Plan to do the kingpins and rod ends on my 36 also. Already has 39 pedals and plates.
