So I found a 1950 coupe I think I'm going to get and I know of a 1951 that would probably be good for parts. The '51 has a sunvisor that I'd definitely want to use.

What all swaps on a '50 and '51?

Suspension was different, 51 was the first v8, as well. The body panels don't exchange between certain models (e.g. Champion to Commander or Land Cruiser), but I think the basic tubs were the same 47 through 52. Is it a business coupe or a starlite?Dave Warren (Perry Mason by day, Perry Como by night)

StudeRich, I tried to send you a private message but it is full. Anyway, I received a phone call from a customer who needs a 1950 champion hood. He is located in Seattle Wa. He has tried to call you but you have not return his call. Do you have a hood for him?

To try and turn this thread back positive for the somewhat "newbie" original poster...
Regarding windshields (not that you asked):
The same one-piece w/s was used from 47-52 on convertibles, 3 passenger coupes, 5 passenger coupes (Starlight), and Landcruisers. And the one-year only '52 hardtop.
47-50 2 and 4 door sedans used 2 piece flat w/s. In 51-52 the sedans switched to the same one-piece w/s.KURTRUK
