Re: 49 Suburban

Just waiting on non rainy weather so I can start on the crossmember swap. But the plan for the near future is to have a drivable restoration. Need to find out what rear end I have or just swap for a s10 or camaro. I plan on installing brake booster on the firewall for ease of access but leave the battery under the floor. I'm undecisive if I want to go floor or column shift for the transmission. It will be the stock column with column saver to save money. Reusing an ignition control panel for the engine and all related wiring.


As far as interior and body goes it will be slow going. I hope to seal the floor and firewall and sound deaden it at the least. New glass to replace the broken ones along with door and window seals if funds allow. I'm researching for suitable seat replacements until mine can be fixed and redone.

More updates to come as I make progress!
