Mrbuick714 Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Measure before you buy.The Specials were re-tooled for 1951 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 thank you for your reply, The parts are 5 states away, but "I will call before I buy". I was hoping someone here had made this switch, or just happened to have it "on the tip of they're tounge" from seeing it? any other opinions, about doing this. its not going to be a show car just a fun daily driver.

Pete Phillips Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Since you are in Oklahoma, have you tried Ken Reeves at Wheatbelt Auto Parts in Carrier, OK, just north of Enid? wheatbelt@myexcel.com He has lots of early 1950s Buicks for parts, in fact I sold him a '51 Special parts car a couple of years ago--he might still have it or have another one. I have found his prices to be very reasonable.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Thanks Pete, I'll try that. "appreciate it" <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbuick714 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 As I stated previously,the 51 Special had an all-new body,and I personally would not try to interchange body or related parts between the two. Ask Joe Taubits, Steve Ehrlich or Ken Reeves. I am sure these men can tell you for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 For anyone following this post,thanks for all the help, I found the parts I was needing here in oklahoma, at Ken Reeves place.
