can someone tell me if the front sheet metal and dash from a 52 chev fleetline 4 door will fit on a 49 fleetline2 door , i am talking too a guy that has both , the 52 would makle a good donar car and i prefer the front end and dash of the 52 if it will fit on the 49. i did a search and found a lot of posts saying a lot of the parts interchange but nothing about these particular parts
damn near everything will swap 49-54, except deck lids and glass. other parts you should grab- front brakes, the 52 trans crossmember is a bolt in instead of riveted like the 49-51, i think, so it is easier for future work, might as well grab both if they are cheap, and you have room.
I have actually done this swap...a buddy and I found a junkyard with several cars, and swapped front suspension, sheetmetal, bumpers, from a '52 sedan onto a '49 coupe... The dashboard we didn't touch...
thank you guys, i figured somebody on here would know, im going to try to buy both cars if the guys not stroking me, will post the results.
