[oletrucks] '49 3100 and modern gas - Questions

[Holly and Chris Mills <scmills@tntech.edu>]

I'm running a stock '49 engine in my old Chevy. Since gas around here is 
all without lead what's going to happen to the valve seats?

Is it a big deal or are engines with aluminum heads only at risk (valve 
seat recession or soething like that)?

This truck is seldom under much of a strain - just hauling me around. The 
bed is too pretty to carry much in it.

THANKS!
