Was out at our local swap meet last weekend and just couldn't resist this
49 suburban. Looks all original with lots of rust . Has all the seats, rear
clam shell doors and even some of the headliner with dome light. It is
missing the radio, distributor and starter. I was on the list before but
didn't pay much attention to the AD trucks, so I need advice. (I have a 56
3200 truck also.) The rear fenders are rusted through up about 6 inches.
The fronts are much the same. The right front is bent pretty good around
the headlight and looks like a tough repair without a patch panel.
What's the best way to fix the fenders? Are there any patch panels
available? The floor is rusted thru too but I think there are panels
available for the floor. Any vendor recommendations?
I also have the lever shocks, are there ways to use tube shocks or should I
try and rebuild the lever shocks?
That's it for my first post; I'll have LOTS more later as I disassemble the
burb.
