Where to buy stainless vent shades for 72 Suburban?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

4shongo · 11-26-2012, 10:49 AM

Any one have any ideas where to buy them for all 4 doors? Been looking and coming up empty handed. Found the fronts on Ebay (I was out bid of course)but would look strange without all 4. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Anybody ever seen a suburban with a set installed? Got pics?

Probably don't exist. You'll have to find something modern but with a similar shape and hope for the best. Ford Flex has pretty square windows. Cruise ebay for pics, I guess.

When did they start making a '72 with 4 doors?

There's a ton of them on Ebay with $30 BIN pricing:

Personally I can't remember ever seeing them on a 67-72 burb.

The PU doors are different than burb doors.
The window frame is curved, where as the burb is squared.

I'd probably get the PU shades and rework them to fit my Burb if I wanted them. Since they're SS you can do things and polish them out easily.

Not four doors but four windows. Hard to explain to none third door owners. But yes there has been guys that have modified there three door Burbs to 4 doors. I did find the fronts again and hopefully I can buy them tomorrow.

I bought the set of NOS front vent shades today off Ebay. Even comes with the original box from back in the day. Nice score. Now I can't wait to get them in and install them on the Burb. The search is on for the back windows now!!!!

I finally got around to installing the vent visors on the front doors...and love them!! I am going to just try to find something close to the back windows and maybe can just adjust/bend them to fit. Now to find something close..... Any suggestions????
