1951 Buick Super/1963 IH 4x4
![]() I bought this 1951 Buick Super Riviera a while ago hoping to get the straight 8 running and drive it as it was. ![]() ![]() ![]() That didn't really work out for me. I had to use a post pounder to remove the pistons, and I don't have the money to get the engine rebuilt, so I let it set for a while. I decided I wanted to hot rod it and put in a V8, but I needed to redo the rear suspension. I read on forums that you can use Chevy truck trailing arms in the rear and that works well. So I bought a 1969 C20 off craigslist with the intent to steal it's parts and sell the rest. Here's how that turned out... ![]() I let the Buick sit while I got my truck running. Then this summer, I was browsing Facebook Marketplace, as one does, and I saw an International Harvester 4x4 truck frame, with engine and trans, for only 75$. ![]() Now my friend has a 1970 Cutlass on a Dodge truck frame, and i began to connect the dots. ![]() So we took the Buick to his place, tore the body off the frame, and wheeled the new one underneath. ![]() ![]() ![]() After that it got hauled back to my shop. The 304 it came with turned over, but needed a lot of work and was missing many parts. So I took my truck and went and bought a running one off a guy locally ![]() ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzsxCAl-qTs And yesterday I got it installed into the Buick. ![]()
