Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
nice work, digging the trans tunnel. I'm more of a square tunnel fan in most builds. allows more utilization and most time I just like how they look.

I will probably sandblast the welds then treat them with some black rust guard prior to using kitty hair. Marc |

1 - Upgraded to a new bigger radiator. Needed to create room to fit. 2 - Painted a lot of my billet Street and Performance pulleys and brackets. Billet was too hard to keep polished. Black is the new chrome. 3 - Changed the collectors on my exhaust system and added some SS flex joints. 4 - Re-welded one of the mounts for my tail pipe that cracked (see item 3 above) You know how it is, after putting miles on them you decided to fix/change some stuff. I will take a couple pics of engine bay to give you an idea. Thanks Marc |

My truck never overheated it just ran hotter than I was comfortable but well within spec for the motor. Marc |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Here are a couple pics. I included a pic of the shrink band that I used. If you have never used these they work great and look clean. I basically changed out the motor components and ss radiator hoses to black and had to notch the radiator panel to make room for the radiator. Thanks Marc |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
That truck is just bad ass

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Thanks man....

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Really incredible! Have looked at those bands before and never seen them installed. Were you happy with how they worked out so far?

Due to an expected/unexpected job change I have not been spending anytime on the burb. I did get out there tonight and I plan on working on it more and more now that I'm a couple weeks into a new job. Porterbuilt is close on the AD kits. Here are a few pics that they have shared on Instagram. A few of that changes are now the front and rear will be a bolt in unit. The rear rails flow like the stock rails. I was told they just need to fab the front radiator support and there done. In the meantime I will get my frame blasted in anticipation.

Well I spent a good portion of last Sunday in the garage as well as today. I was able the get the floor out. The problem that I ran into was the rusted carriage bolts that held the wood in around the perimeter. The nuts were rusted and the bolts simply spun. I ended up spot welding each one so that they would not spin. I also removed the rear sill. I was not certain how this was to come out after snapping the heads off of about 12 bolts and cutting a few spot welds I was able to easy it out. I needed to remove it to properly replace the rear driver side cab corner. Here are some pics to prove it.
