We are restoring the squarebody Suburban and I have looked everywhere for the panels that go over the fender wells. See the photo, any help would be appreciated!

They aren't reproduced. You'll either have to track down nice ones or make new ones.

Nice ones are out there for sure. But it can be very hard to find them because when a truck gets parted out, the Burb-specific stuff is of little importance to the seller. Everyone wants pickup truck parts.

Another thing to consider - the Burbs with the plastic panels surrounding the windows and side panels - seem to have more issues with rust around the windows. Mine does not have the higher trim interior, and after reading about that issue I decided if anything I will build some custom panels that allow for airflow and leave the window surround metal open.

Have you witnessed that? I've had some REALLY rusty Suburbans, the area around the rear windows has not been an issue at all.

Personally, no. Seen several posts with folks talking about it. Since I don't have it already, it just made me decide to not add it. Just a talking point - area of the country and how it's taken care of probably contribute. Don't get all upset.
