hey,
IMHO, original brakes are scarry at 40mph! and the steering isn't made for higher speeds either.
i have a 1951 B3-PW that can do 70mph. to get it there i did a complete drive train swap: red ram, saginaw trany, np xfer case, dana 60 differentials w/ 4.56:1, disk & hydroboost brakes, power steering, 38-12.5x17 tires. i am comfortable driving 60 on the freeway, but it will never be a quick reacting machine, so i give myself plenty of margin.
