I recently acquired a 50 Olds wagon and would like to upgrade the front suspension and drive train and it looks like a front clip swap might be the way to go. If any of you guys have done such a swap on an early 50's Olds, I would like your advice. What works (and what doesn't) etc.

I would also like to downsize the bumpers. It looks like 51 Chevy bumpers might work. ?

Thanks in advance for your replies,

Thanks all of you guys for the advice and the links. I'll follow up tomorrow and probably come back with more questions.

1950 Olds wagon bumper

I've seen a couple of photos of 50 Olds with what appear to be Chevy bumpers.

I like the look, and, if they would work, would be a less expensive option to chroming the ones I have.

Anyone done this swap?
