... Thanks OOW
BAS has one for sale.

I didn't know that there are -- or more accurately were -- at least four different folks offering this STC:

The Lowe Conversion applies to the 1959-'65 C-150's. There's more information on that STC at Ken and Lorraine Morris' website.

Air Classic Rebuilders holds an STC for 1959-'63 C-150's.

The "Texas Taildragger" STC is held by Del-Air.

The Bush Conversion is held by the William's. I think, but am not certain, this was also know as the Bolen Conversion. Everything I've read says to avoid the William's like the plague.

The Cessna 150/152 Club would be the best source of information on doing a conversion.

I have heard that the Lowe conversions are the best ones of the group.
