Location: Valley Forge, Pa. | Can anyone give me the width of a 57-59 tailgate glass in a Suburban?
There is a rare optional NOS tailgate screen on Ebay #2196144. I have the exact same box with an NOS screen in it. Both boxes say #2196144 to fit 1957-62. The # is correct for the optional screen for 1960-62 is #2196144.
The one in my box is only 46" accross at the base and is 3" too narrow for my 60 Suburban. He said it fits his 60 New Yorker.
Are the earlier cars narrower? A 1959 optional tailgate screen is #1881899. I'm just wondering if my screen is in the wrong box?
Thanks for any info,
Karl. |

Not sure if this will help you or not but the 57-58s used the same tailgate glass across the board. Plymouth, Dodge, Desoto, Chrysler all the same.

Location: Valley Forge, Pa. | I thought that. They look squarer than the 60s but what about the width? The height isn't all that relavant. My interchange book shows the 1957-79 are the same.
The 1960-61 are the same and the 1961-62 are the same and none are interchangable.
I'm just wondering if there is anyone here that has a 1957-59 or a 1961-62 Suburban and a measuring tape?
Again, thanks for any info,
