So, I'm always sort of perusing for my next truck. Out here where I am, we just don't see too many panels or 'burbs or this vintage.

I drive my One ton every day, but I don't often need the capacity, lets face it, the box is huge. I'm more interested in covered storage for my tools and junk. Today I cam across a 1/2 ton Suburban, that looks like it might be a good candidate for restoration, and daily driving.

I have a couple of questions though for y'all. The truck has no seats with it. I'm sure with enough money I'll be able to buy some on ebay, but how much do they cost (about). I'm particularly interested in the fronts, and second row, but I think I'd probably end up with wanting them all.

Also, this truck, the side windows go up and down, instead of sliding back and forth. Is this some hack job? In the gallery, I only see sliders. Also, the truck has barn doors on the back, not the lift gate. Does this mean that it was a panel truck, and not a 'burb? The whole rear of the truck is "bed wood" just like a pick 'um up truck.

I'll try and snap a few pictures to add to the post here. Probably would be easier than me trying to describe this stuff.

Thanks for any info.
