real similar larry but mine has the double grill in front and is red/white showing it's a 1968 yours if it's the original orange/white it would be a 1972.Your suburban bein blue/white shows to be a 1966.picture of what mine looks like.I'm seriously thinking of getting mine put together an not even touching it.I'm not kidding to be a 68 it's the cleanest original i've ever seen it has some scrapes/scratches of course but man it's pretty nice it's never had touch up's of any kind.Deck was never put on it until 2009.it was only used to plow snow it';s whole life original owner and i have all the books,it's a pretty rare piece.I'll get some pics this week cleaning parts on it and putting together.I've been searching for this specifice custom for a long time double grill with round fenders and headlights was only one year.

that model is my all time favorite of any sears papaw really hard to find actually looked for 20 years and got one,hoping to have it all back together in a week or so.it's all there but i bought it partially disasembled because the guy was trying to get it hooked up for a vacuum system.I'm so glad he gave up on the project before he starting cutting on it.
