I'm well into the rebuilding of the Suburban. The process consists of an almost new 5.3 V8 with 4L60 tranny, new firewall mounted master cylinder with booster and brake pedal, new brake lines, drive by wire gas pedal and of course the front clip from a 74 camaro. You can see my progress here.

Thanks for the great detail, it will help with my '58 GMC Suburban Carryall. Please let all of us know what weatherstrip doesn't fit well , so we don't make the same mistake in purchasing from a vendor who can't get it right!

I used Chevy Duty (Now Classic Parts) for weather stripping and I was not at all happy with the fit. I had to add extra in places to get a good seal. Of course the doors on a 55-59 are not Chevrolets best work by any stretch.
