Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the encouragement. I looked at it again today and it is doable but all the lower sheet metal will need to be worked. It needs a new grille, all the fenders need work or replacement, the tailgate is too far gone, as is the bottom rear where the tailgate would hinge. It needs an engine rebuild or replacement, radiator, and complete floor pan. The doors are good as is the roof and all upper metal. The dash is rust free, has original radio, original seats, Unity spot light, interseting three point mount winged hood ornament, and a clock mounted high on the division wall behind the seats. The division wall and the side rails are very good. I was am glad to know that the suburban clam shell could be modified for a tailgate, are there any of them out there? I will probably go for it and store it until I finish my '54 panel. I will try to learn this photo bucket stuff so I can post pictures. Thanks so much
