John, I just finished mounting a Saginaw with Patrick's shift kit in my 49 suburban yesterday. If you want to see pics, have a look here and scroll all the way to the bottom.

If you have power brakes, plan some mods to make the shifter fit depending on how you built your power brake booster unit (or bought). If you have the existing manual brake setup, you should be fine.

Welcome!
