Replacing 1950 suburban bmper with 1949


Recommended Posts

Posted

I haven't been around for quite some time because of my wife's health issues. Sorry about coming right back with a question.  I have a 50 Suburban and I have a line on a pair of 49 bumpers and guards. I am really liking the ribs on them.  Can anybody tell me what the differences would be for the mounting if any? I may be able to get the mounts too but if not i would like to know if i can make mine work.

Thanks,

Don Colliau

Years back I compared the part numbers between the 49 and 50 Plymouth bumper mounts and found the numbers were all different. Front and backs years and  models

 

How? I do not know.  But maybe get the mounts with the bumpers.  The Suburban rears are very scarce and I have seen only one for sale on EBay years ago and it was way pricey.

 

Some mods most likely will be required.

I would suggest getting all the parts you can....such as the brackets.  And....any pictures of the bumpers still on the donor vehicle.

Similar as the 2 vehicles seem, there will very likely be some differences.
