Well I figured it was time to update my thread with the little progress that I've made.
These pictures cover removing the body from the frame one last time. The idea is I will disassemble the frame and get it ready for paint. I also want to take the body and get the inside and door jams sandblasted. I plan the leave the outside as is for now. I also finished my hidden hitch. I started with a hitch that was too narrow with huge mounting plates because it was a class 4 hitch. I chopped off the mounting plates. Then I picked up some 2 1/2 square tube to slide into the original hitch to make it the desired width that I needed. I then made some mounting tabs. The last step was to make a receiver/license plate mount. I wanted it to follow the curve of the rear bumper to flow a little better. Here are a bunch of pictures.... |

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Sucks about your job Marc...maybe thingsll pick up now...
|
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Just build trucks for a living! hope things work out for you. I am self employed and let me tell you I know all about having no funds for the build. But, God is great and trials are necessary.
|
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Marc, also sorry about the job, hope 2019 will be good for you...Jim

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
That sucks about your job!!
I know things will come your way!! I still think you’ll be in the running for first place..... |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Sucks about your job I've been there before and it really sucks..
On a lighter note: Really cool project I love the burbs of this era. Its one near me just sitting in a guy's backyard and he will not sell, its a good thing because I don't need another project. Nice build man. |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Sorry about your Job loss. I know it takes a while to recover form.
I'll make you a 3rd place trophy lol |

I'm back on the 53....I have been busy selling parts from the LS motor that I didn't need to build some cash up. I have been working on getting my frame painted. Other than a few pieces that will be an accent color, I have the frame 90% painted. I went with a satin finish single stage urethane paint my friends that own the hotrod shop use on all of their builds. I like how it turned out. I have a few accent colors in mind for some of the other parts like the control and trailing arms.
Looking forward to some real progress over the summer. Marc |
