Re: Suburban sliding window latches

There is a guy who works at the Truck Shop in Orange with a 65 suburban. He allegedly had Counterpart use his tailight lenses and his rear window latches to make reproductions. When I talked to him last weekend he said he is also trying to get them to make the outer window frames since so many are rusted or rotted through on the bottoms.

I saw the latches and they look pretty nice. They are polished stainless. But I suspect that like other cheap chinese stainless these may oxidize a little faster than expected. That said, since these are an interior item it may not be an issue.
