Any 48 - 53 suburbans out there?

[jober]

Thank you for the reply-doesn't appear that too many people use this forum by looking at dates of messages. I'm still kinda looking for a 50-53 burb when I have the time. last month saw a 52 panel at IN car show-pretty sharp,but really want a Suburban for visibility. I think it would be cool to have one with updated drive train and modern conveniences with the original body, and the restore a 50's era camper to pull along and hit the road. Thanx for your offer to respond if you come across any in your searches. Keep me updated on your restoration.

If you are looking for a fifties burb I would keep an eye on EBay because I saw one on there just a few weeks back. Not sure what year it was exactly but im sure if you keep looking you will find one. Also Deals on wheels may have one listed from time to time.

I know this is a year after the last post but my dad has a 52 suburban with the clamshell rear doors and a hydramatic tranny. It has been sitting for many years, but someone could bring it back to life. Send me an email at Sasky@barefoot-soul.com so I can put you in touch with my dad as we are selling all of the old Chevy, GMC, Ford, and MoPar (including Simca) cars and trucks we have bought over the years. Everything is in deep south Georgia.

Blessings,
Sasky

I've got a 1950 Suburban in the paint shop right now. It was my first car and I have had it for 20+ years. I replaced the 216 with a '53 235 from a Chevy car that was a powerglide, so it is a full pressure lubricated engine. Hydraulic lifters also. I have been doing more of a restification than restoration so that it is usually driveable and not in alot of pieces scattered around the garage. Other than that, it is all original. I am trying to keep it stock as much as possible.

I'm going to revive this thread. I purchased a 52 Chevy Suburban last month here in California that was in pretty decent shape. Still looking for a community to help with restoration questions. Any ideas?

52 Suburban, rear fender crunched bad, dash butchered, front floor eaten up, inner and outer cowl rusted away, hood is history, 174 holes in body that shouldn't be, front lower hinge boxes gone, rear hinges frozen and the bent when doors forced open, should be paint ready next month. Chassis receiving a Lincoln Mark VIII independent rear end and Pacer front end. Trailblazer Atlas DOHC 6 with 4L60E for power. After finding out how much the bandits want for crappy used fenders I spent half a day and banged the old one into shape.

Well, I still have my 48 Burb, picked up a nice frame from Trick Trucks and Rods and should be starting on it later this year. I keep getting distracted with other projects.

Besides, the Grandson won't fit in the 35 coupe with us.

Yep. After finishing my resto on a 52 Ford F1 I have moved to the dark side and started a 51 Chevy Burban.

A labour of love but starting to take shape...
