Sub burb members, I'm new to stovebolt and just introduce myself to your burb family. My name is Julian from Salinas Ca. I got a 1948 Suburban that I picked up on a cash and trade. It has a 235, split manifold, straight pipe, open drive, 3spd on the tree, 2 pump hydraulic sys, 14" daytons. I'm looking for the 2 rear seats like everyone else. Here are some pix

It looks like you have bad springs on it! Jack it back up to stock height and some white walls and you will be good to go! thumbs_up I wish mine was that clean.

There is a rear seat on craigslist going for $1000, a member here just sold a set for around $1650.

thanks for all the compliments guy's their much appreciated. Say right now I'm in need of some outer trims. My original ones are shot and I have found another but one was shot and others where gonna be alot to repair for chrome. They probably would be ok to bondo up and paint but I need chrome. If any one has a lead or a salution please let me know. I've been told the rear cab window from a truck is the same as middle windows of burb's has any one heard this ?

You got a nice 51 also. It's got a MS-II and the normal hydraulic mods.
