Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
try www.steelerubber.com for weather stripping. They are a bit pricey but I have heard nothing but good things aobut their products. I think if you are going to restore it, it needs to be the original colors and you can get that paint at www.tciglobal.com They are based in San Diego.

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
The Body work continues. They are chasing every spot of rust, not that there is very much since this has been an Arizona truck for 49 years.
Really leaning towards painting the original color. White over dark green. So can anybody tell me how to find paint numbers to match paint today ? Thanks to all of you for your encouraging responses.

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
KIC,
In your memorabilia, you have the OEM owners manual, (Comic book) DON'T EVER Sell that, talk about rare. Geez, I lost my Original one in Katrina and had to have a color copy made from Arthur Throckmorton in NV. I've collected a about 90% of all the stuff on the GMC trucks. Do you have or are you keeping the V-6? Jake

Good to know about the OEM manual. Don't plan to get rid of any of the books/paperwork as it is original to this truck. I do have the V-6 and keeping it all original. Gas hog it is, but bullet proof. Sorry about your loss in Katrina. That really sucks.
