Found a '51 Chevy Suburban last summer at a garage sale. (lucky day) Came with a fresh 235 on a pallet so we swapped motor, fixed a brake line and drove her home. She's real straight with just a couple soft spots and all stock with all the seats, glass, artillery rims and a Fulton visor. All that and under a grand,(LUCKY DAY!)
Can't seem to find any info on side widow outside metal trim. I think I can save two of the four but will need a couple replacements. Any ideas? I found the slider channels and rubber but no metal trim.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, gt | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 Bondo Artiste | | Bondo Artiste Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 | The outside metal trims are hard to come by and rust out easily from what I have seen. Keep your eyes open on E-bay, they come up for sale from time to time. Also don't forget to post a "parts wanted" post in the swap meet section here on this website.

I don't think anyone is reproducing the rears.
