Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
OK...here is a picture just as body work was getting started. By next week it will be primered and most body work completed. There will still be some left to do.
It runs, and is drivable if driving a tank on city streets is legal ![]() In process of getting some tires on it that aren't 28 years old.

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
I don't know how traffic is is Tucson these days but you might want to think about a brake upgrade. Drum brakes in todays traffic are scary anymore.

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
That Burb looks to be in pretty good shape.

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
It really is in good shape. All original. In fact my father just found, and gave me the original invoice, window sticker, owner's manual, sales brochure and some other logs and paprework.
![]() Here are some shots of the body being stripped down to bare metal. Should be primered today. Does anybody know if the rear window side rubber molding is "special" or is there a "roll" that can be bought? Wondering if it has to be premolded due to some of the curves of the windows. This is the original paint. Seeing it stripped off is like seeing your own sister naked. ![]()

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
This one too. Turn signals and a heater as an option.

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
My father, the original owner got to see the Burb for the first time in 20 years.

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
Those pictures are/ will be priceless. Your dad looks happy. I have a picture from 1976 of my mom and dad standing next to now my 65 Suburban in Scottsdale. I treasure that pic very much.
