Anything not available?
 
In my searching for a suburban I have seen different things missing or broken/not working. Is there anything not available anymore? Things to make sure are there?

What year burb are you talking about?

As far as 67-72 models, I do know that there are a few things I would make sure were on the truck and in good condition if I was searching.

These are things I have found are hard to locate used, and are not reproduced at least last I looked.

Fuel fill tube
GMC rear gate emblem
67-68 bench seat OEM covers
Head liner boards
Head liner bows and plastic strips with chrome end caps
Seat belts for the second and third benches
All of the side and rear glass
67-68 4x4 lift leaf springs
tail gate push button lock mechanism
Rear hatch chrome handle
3rd door lock rods/clips

These are just few that I have had to look for, and know for a fact they are not reproduced and take time to scrounge from salvage.

It's for a 71 GMC. Thanx for the list.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of these, but I haven't seen replacements available for them yet.

front doors with square rear pillars
3rd doors, rear barn doors, tailgates and hatches
rear barn door lock mechanism and cover
3rd door (and 4th window) regulators
everything to do with the overhead A/C units
everything to do with the spare tire area
plywood rear floor
rear wiring harnesses
correct body mount bolts in kit form
I believe that certain exterior molding pieces are pretty hard to come by
oem style rubber floor mats
oem style replacement sound deadening pieces for rear floor
3rd door & 4th window door panels
any interior chrome trim from the front doors back

vectorit already got most of the good ones like glass, middle seats & belts and headliner parts

Isn't the glass all flat? (except windshield)

I'm pretty sure it's available at:

Classic Flat Glass

That's a great resource for glass.
So, yea the glass is replaceable, but the cost and shipping is something to be aware of when shopping for a burb to restore.

I have new barn door lock cylinders and I can key them to match the other locks on your vehicle. I also have complete sets for burbs or panels with barn doors....
