I am in the process of rebuilding a '49 Olds 88 2dr club sedan.. I am up-grading the front end to a FatMan unit, disk brakes, rack-pinion, etc..
The engine is a 403, with a 200R4 trans... The rear end is a stock '49 unit with 342 gearing, the unit has been completely rebuilt. The lever shocks are being rebuilt by Four Points in Santa Ana CA... They are 'reclocking' the shocks to allow for a 2"drop and they are putting HD valving into the shocks.
I can't find a source for new rubber bushings for the swing arms, etc., that the '49-50 Olds has...
Any help will be appreciated... Bill

You might try posting this in the vintage forum, A lot of 40's 50's guys and girls live there, you will probably get more info there than anywhere else on that vintage of car... Lost in the fifties ...Tedd

Ted, Thank you for the comment about the vintage forum... As you should have noted, I am new to this forum so I am still trying to find my way around.
