please i need your input....

Hi I have a 1959 chevy apache fleetside big window in need of restoring and a 1971 3/4 ton Suburban with all options minus a/c but has a big block they made 1203 of them on 71 who knows how many had big blocks. I need to sell one to help pay some bills. I am wondering which one will be harder to replace or harder to find later? Just wondering what you guys think?

That's a tough one. Ask your self what you will kick your self for 10 years from now.

I would sell the '59 but this is a '67-'72 Chevy Suburban forum so that's why....

Honestly I would most likely kick myself for selling either. I guess I was trying to see which one will be easier to replace and sell that one because if you ask me i couldn't choose

Either one would probably be hard to find an exact replacement for but the '59 might be a little tougher.... Dunno

I would guess the 59 would be the harder to find, but I would have to take the condition of the trucks into the decision. I see that your one of our friends from up north, so I am guessing neither one would be easy to replace.
Obviously you need to sell it to a friend who has dry storage, and never gets to projects, so you can buy it back later.
