New to the Herd 551 original

Yes, similar style but that's an RJ (Rideaway Junior). Built prior to the Suburbans. Notice the front axle. On the one you referred to also notice the frame and drive. The unidrive transmission and frame like the Suburbans came out in 1958. There's other differences too but those are the most noticeable.

That's a nice looking 551!

I have a 551 but it was mutilated by the PPO (previous previous owner).

It will have to be a restoration/modification.

...excepting for the rear fenders being backwards.   :teasing-poke:

fenders are correct,tire style may make them look different, I checked with Clay( rj35hunter) & he agrees
