Hi
I have a 34 fordor deluxe
Just redoing some of the car now and rebuilding the factory 21 stud flathead.
I want to take a long trip in the car in August,September from Alberta ,Canada to Oregon coast area then to San Francisco then back home.
The car will be pretty much stock, to include motor, tranny,brakes and diff.
I am planning to install 3.54 gears or 3.25 gears in the rear.
I plan on taking spare parts, just not sure what that list might include.
And would like to mark or know of a few clubs, shops, etc. along the way in case I run into trouble.
Any body running either gear ? What I can expect ?
Also I am well versed in mechanics , restoration , repair, but more of the muscle car era, not so much in the 34 or flat head era.
And not that well versed in the area I am travelling, other than I have covered some of the same area in a vette several years ago.
Any input would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance
