Technical 52 sedan delivery questions

Hi guys. I just worked out a deal on the sedan delivery. I'm wondering what year parts will fit. Is there parts that will be hard to find? I have a 47 thru 52 pickup chassis already built. Would it be a real pain to make this fit on that? Thanks for any help and advice.

 

Pretty sure it fits a car chassis. How big is your hammer?

 

Yes…what’s wrong with its Chassis or are you looking to make a gasser out of it?
C1 Corvettes had the same front suspension and I believe 49-54 car frame were pretty much the same. If the rails are not rusted out there are a lot of aftermarket chassis kits to improve them from stock. There rear parallel leaf can take a lot of different newer rear axles…there is a lot of potential in a sedan delivery…good luck.

 

Sedan delivery is CAR not truck. Specs are here https://www.gm.com/content/dam/comp...information-kits/chevrolet/1952-Chevrolet.pdf

stock chassis wise, mostly 51/53. Body wise it may be closer to 49 and 50 in some respects than 51/52. I'm no up on if grills will bolt on year models that they didn't come on as far as 49/52 go.

About the only thing truck about it is that it can be licensed as a truck when used comercially and hauling goods on a daily basis. Extra cost if it is already licensed as a car. That probably depends on how it was originally titled though.

 

Sounds like I'm going to need a pretty big one.

 

I don't know the exact shape of the chassis under it now. I just have a super nice truck one all ready to go is the only reason for wondering.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

rear fenders are 49/50, only those year skirts fit. doors are the same as 4-dr frts but rounded at upper rear corner. rear glass is hard to find. frt glass is same as sedan, or fit a 1 piece 50 olds to it. DO NOT lose that rear side trim.

 

The man told me this is a 52. Are you saying the rear fenders are 49 or 50? So do you think the car is a 49 or 50?

 

Nice find/project. The rear wheel opening differ and the skirts need to match the years, think 53-54 differ from the older ones.

 

Those use the earlier body shells, so even though it's titled (you say) as a '52 the rear quarters are '49-'50.

 

Oh ok thank you.

 

That is a ‘52. The body is the same ‘49 - 52, hood, doors as well. Dash ‘51-52 is the same. Truck frame is not even similar.

 

sell it and buy a panel truck?

 

Thank you.

 

Or do as you and cut chop rebuild. Hope everything is going good in your world. Are you doing sick summer? Me and my brother will be in a 66 nova for this one.

 

I'm going to Sick 66 later in the year....have fun!
