plymouthcranbrook Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I once knew a man who had a fully restored 1926 Chevrolet stakebed. I believe he did all the work himself or at least most of it. The thing was he said is thst after he finished it he realized that due to it’s slow speed and two wheel brakes he really fid not feel safe driving it much. He loaned it to An auto museum in Hartford, Wi. I saw it there once many years ago and as far as I know it is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 I'm the caretaker for a '25 Chevy Truck that belongs to the city where I live. It's OK in town, relatively happy at speeds up to about 35MPH, and the brakes are not much worse than a Model "A" I used to have. You do need to try to avoid hills. The big hand brake lever makes going down OK, but and steepness at all and you're in "grandma". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
