Just became the owner of this fine and rare Suburban.
It is mechanically sound but deserves a new interior. Anyone can advise where the side panel cardboard panels can be got and what kind of headliner should be purchased.

Nice burban...If you don't mind, how much did you get it for? I think it needs wider white wall tires..But Welcome to the burban club..

Fleetmaster, I think you can purchase the headliners from vendors like JimCarter. Check out the links here and I'm sure you'll find them. Not sure about the side carboard panels. Perhaps a good upholstery shop had the material to cut and make them.
Nice looking burb you have. Drive it with pride!!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Here is a nice version for sale on Hemmings, even though it is a few years newer you might be able to contact the seller and ask to see some headliner photos for reference.

You have got a great suburban, thanks for sharing it. I was wondering who bought it..........

I got my headliner for my 1946 Burb from:

SMS Auto Fabrics
350 S Redwood St
Canby, OR 97013
Email is [email protected]

The headliner was custom made and cost me $354.00 plus $49.00 for an additional yard of matching fabric for use to cover the pillar panels and other misc areas.

Luckily most of my pillar panels were still there but need to be replaced when I get to that point.

I have not installed my headliner yet due to the fact that I have not completed my body work and I have a 1941 1 Ton pickup to be completed first.

If I can help in anyother way do not hesitate to ask.
