I found a 1960 suburban (jet pod lights) but sadly the windshield has discoloured (black/yellow) from 20 year old sun damage. Is there any way I can get this off or must I source a used windshield? If so, which model windshield will fit? An Apache(twin headlights) a 1957 pick up (single headlights) or a 1962 pick Up Fleetside? The 2 doors on this 1960 pick up are similar to an Apache but the front has a square hood like the Fleetmaster. Hopefully someone can assist with this info. Many thanks.

so, for a 60 you need a windshield from a 60-63, and there's nothing you can doo about that 'fogging', it's between laminations, and happens to all of them sooner or later - not sure about waaaay over there, but the winshields are available here new

And while you're at it, send a picture of yours to the gallery. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | previous post There's lot's of information out here, pictures would help.  .......g | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5 | South Africa calling!
