Hello,

In the works of getting a 1947-1954 suburban, I already have a truck, with some extra parts. I was wondering where I can get side sliding glass for a suburban. The one I have in the works has all the trim and I'm not sure if the rest of the hardware for the driver side back glass is there yet. But either way I wanted to start researching where I can get replacement glass and seals along with any other parts. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great!

Try calling Jim Carter Truck Parts.

They might have Suburban rear side glass, and/or they might have patterns for the side glass.

Jim Carter has side glass patterns. If you have the old glass, they make great patterns for a local glass man.

Classic has a side window seal kit that covers everything for four windows. http://www.classicparts.com/1947-54...rip-Kit/productinfo/01-505/#.Vzsvo_krKM8

I have found that some suppliers should have an AF suffix at the end of the part number. AF stands for Almost Fits. So I am now careful and research before I buy. Sis the Classic Parts items work well?

Thank you.....
