Nothing at all. And it will reduce your insurance costs.
I think a bunch of 337 Field modification forms will be required, but no STC. You will have to come up with a way to make sure the landing gear doesn't retract on you. This means it is more complex than just removing the cylinders, hoses, etc.

Take a look at the one that has been done, they put wheel pants on the mains.

Or just stop thinking about it and pull the circuit breaker. Next

To Mr. Larry Bowdish,
Yes I know that I can't just remove the cylinder and related equipment. N53504 the only C337 converted to "Fixed gear" that I know of. I'm hoping to contact him PRIOR to doing any conversions. Hopefully he'll have the name of the DAR that approved the mod and or documentation that will show me what to do.
Thanks for you comments.
