Look forward to seeing some pictures!
Take a look at my website under Misc Information as it lists the company " I
want to say it's Buffalo Enterprises " who sells the conversion kit to
upgrade from the lever action shocks to the tube shocks.

Subject: [oletrucks] Just got a 49 Suburban
>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
