Thanks guys, appreciate the info. There is a textured rubber insert under 2nd seat visible when you flip bottom cushion forward. Ill get some of that for the footwell. Probably have SMS do it.....I had them do doorpanels for my 65 Newport. Took forever so i know and the wagon is a project so...

 Hello everyone, A couple interior questions. I've got a 60 Plymouth Suburban 9 passenger. Working, slowly, on the interior. Car is a project and my plan is a highly detailed interior. Currently have door panels and vinyl/fabrics in the works from SMS. Im wondering what was used for the...

Wow, I wouldn't drive it with those wheels. I agree, ditch those tacky things get the right wheels back on it. Cheapens an otherwise really nice car. Interior amazing !

Hi Everyone, I need to replace the drivers door lock mechanism. No longer kicks door lock open if you lock door and close, won't latch all the way most times, sometimes the handle won't open it from outside the car. It's a mess in other words, yes its greased, cleaned up, etc. My question...

Sure I can get those for you. Fender tag not great though. Have a terrible time trying to upload photos, I've tried in the past. Comes back saying file too large. So email best, send a PM. My car is a 65. Glad to help you with your project

CL, that's right, going by memory so that's why I said C1. As for my build sheet it was taped to the back of a door panel. I was real happy to find it. Not in the greatest shape but there and readable. I did make a copy.

Hey Folks, I too have a 2dr 65 Newport. C1 designated the model, not by my car but on the door post plate its the first part of the VIN tag. Im sure many of you know that but thought I'd mention it. Also have you looked for your build sheet ? Check behind door panels, under seat springs...

Thanks, good confirmation,as my 65 Newport, 2 dr, has a separate trunk key. Brought the ignition switch to a lock shop. Expecting to get it early next week. Owners manual turned out handy... it did say in vague terms that 1 key for all on wagon.

Thanks for the info, the cylinder has a hole at 10, looks like you'd push in a tab to get it out. Haven't tried that but did find a place locally that can key it. I called Jessers Classic Keys in OH but they didn't reply. I talked to the guy i bought the car from, he lost the keys, but he...

Thanks, appreciate you looking into it. Got newsletter yesterday Thanks again

Ha ! I learned to drive on a 3 on the tree. No body wanted it ??? I've wanted one for decades!!! Believe me I know about parts prices. I've had decent luck on ebay, including back up lenses. I paid 500 for my wagon.....paid 2300 to transport it here, Im in MA . But the upside is its a CA...

What a cool ride ! Mines a project but a real solid one. A long way from yours but it will get back on the road ! I'm sure its a blast to drive ! Thanks for reply

 Hello everyone, i bought a 60 Plymouth Suburban recently. Got it with no keys, so I'll have to send out ignition switch to get keys made. My question is the tailgate lock, the car has a power gate window operated by a switch to open/close with a key. I know the doors and ignition key is...

Hello, Have a problem with my account. I didn't receive this week's newsletter. Thought I'd check to see if opted out by mistake and well...ended up removing it anyway. Got a pop up saying to restore go to my account and sign back up. Tried several times, it won't stay as checked off. Even...

Nice ! Good luck with the car, I also have a 2dr 65 Newport. Mines an automatic and I imagine a 3 speed is very rare. So glad to see it got rescued. My car came from a small, private junkyard in horrible shape. It was spared from the motor hunting crowd only because I bought it. Seller was...

Hello everyone, Recently picked up a 9 passenger 60 Suburban. Starting on the interior first, just because it's a mess and loaded with naughahide. That HAS to go, SMS helping with door panels, carpet and upholstery. My question is the area for the 3rd seat. Anyone know or have a nice...

Thanks ! Parts ordered, they were super cool and fast to deal with. Appreciate the tip and I'll check out the Forward Look site.

Hey everyone, Don't want to wear out the welcome mat but....I'm happy to say I just got a 60 Suburban, a car I've wanted since I was a kid. As I begin work on it, the weather stripping I found is for the most part gone. Need the channel guides for the windows, the glass is loose in the door...

Thanks so much, Monc440, (first reply) was right, there's a cap with a nut behind it. Coincidentally I got a FSM in the mail today, it paid for itself before leaving the post office parking lot. Cap came right off...LOL....now I can get in the door and lube everything up. All 4 doors so dry...
