They are not interchangeable.   Even the doors are different as the 51-2 body gets wider starting at the B pillar and is about 3 inches wider across the headlights.

Thanks,  I only have pictures to go by and thought the cowl line looked the same since they both have the cowl vent and the line is angled.  I also wondered if the inner fender wells might present a problem.

I just really like the pointed hood on the '50 more than the flat nose of the '52.

Thanks again.

I believe if you look closely you will find the cowl line is different, and there fore the sheet metal that abuts to it. This has been discussed elsewhere and I beliieve the consensus was negative.

Does anyone know if the hood, front fenders and grill of a '50 Suburban can be interchanged with a '52?  Thx.
