I strongly recommend going with a bigger bag. I had re-6's in the front of my s10, which has a v6 and weighs a lot less than your truck will. It takes twice the pressure to get full lift than a size bigger bag, and will ride a lot better than re-6's. They take way too much pressure to lift an s10 much less a 49 chevy. You will be swapping them out in the future if you don't now, and cutting the pocket more. I would run re-7s in front and back, possibly re-8s in the back depending on clearance of your tire.
Edit: Slam bags do not balloon as much as airlift and other bags, so you can cut less and have a larger bag.
