I have a 46 Suburban..am looking
to upgrade the suspension...Most of the aftermarket kits I see, are for 47 and newer...not much that I can find made for the 41-46. Is there a great amount of difference between the two frames ???
Reason that more made for the later ???
Any and all help will be much appreciated !!

When dealing with some specific items between 46-47, you have to be careful. Some of the early 47's (like my pickup) actually had 46 parts on it. For instance, the parking brake, rear cab mounts, rear member. So when you're considering parts - Even for a 47-53, you have to be careful. I'm not sure where you could get a listing of the differences and can't confirm specifically - but wanted to point this out.

Les,
Check out "Progressive Automotive" in Ohio. Bob built a frame for my 1935 Chevy truck and it is very nice. Bob is very helpful and will answer any question you have. I just purchased a 1946 suburban and I'm thinking about having them build me a frame for it.
Good luck, Russ Sweet
