My Dad (who turned 91 on Pearl Harbor Day) spent a lot of time at the GMC dealership in Wichita (Sauder-Lygrisse) in 1965 when he was in the process of ordering, taking delivery, and modifying the one ton Suburban. He became friends with the owners during the process. They gave him the chrome valve covers and oil cleaner housing you can see in this photo. If I remember right, they came off a showroom truck that had been sold. So they've been on the truck for 50 years now.
