Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I love those taillights! The only issue I can see with them is they are a little small, making them hard to be seen. I am not sure how you feel, but personally, I like lots of light, so the idiots on the road will see me

Hey Marc, I really like that motor/accessory color combo you're going with, and those tail lights are pretty awesome too! Great build man!

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I've seen the LS Classic ones, but their photos don't have the oil pressure sender in the back pictured so I thought it may have been from somewhere else.

We've got paint….I love how the color turned out. The first attempt the gloss was too shinny and I thought crap I choose the wrong color. We added more flattening agent and it looked like a totally different color. I'm so digging the way it looks. My painter is doing all of the other parts next. The seat frame and steering wheel will be the off white but a gloss clear to add contrast. I think the steering wheel is going to look very cool as its going to be 2 tone..
The nice thing about the Corona virus is I don't get grief for spending time in the garage. Here are some pics.. |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
good led tails look like a hole in the universe, even the small stock led tails I get from bowtie bits are crazy bright. dont need a reverse light with your foot lightly on the brake pedal.
that color looks amazing! |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I picked up some more parts from the painter this weekend. I can say i'm really digging this color combo. The steering wheel is gloss clear and semi gloss clear to add some nice contrast.
I started to assemble more of the motor but a broken intake bolt slowed my progress. I can say I hate the Craftsman torque wrench I have.... More progress to come. My injectors have been sent out for a cleaning and the rest of my fittings show this week to complete my fuel lines up the intake. Thank you Marc |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Your color combo is very nice. Nice progress.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Marc, looks great...Jim

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

So I have been working from home for the last few weeks so one would think lots of garage time. Its been just the opposite. When the economy is bad our company gets very busy. We are a flexible printer for consumable packaging.
Here are some recent progress...I installed the Altman easy latches. I realized that the striker plate will take some modifications as my doors are 47-50 but my body is a 53. The bad part is the striker plates were already painted.... I also took some new chrome door handles and gave them a satin finish. I love how they turned out. I think it goes with the over all theme better. After seeing how well the door handles turned out I plan to treat all of my chrome to this satin finish....more to come. Stay safe/healthy out there...... |

Got a little more done on Friday and Saturday. I modified one of the striker plates from my Altman easy latch kit.The other side should go quicker. Once modified, I will repaint them. I created a small bracket for the throttle cable. Happy with how it turned out. I threw on my air cleaner to see what the finished product will look like. Waiting on some fuel rail brackets that should show next week then I can finalize my fuel supply all the way up the the throttle body.
On Friday I got my injectors back from being cleaned and the screens and O-rings changed. I learned the hard way on my 48 that injectors get gummed up when sitting. This can complicate the trouble shooting process on the first start up. They provide you with readouts of before and after too see how the injectors are working. I had one that was not working at all but after several back flushes they got it firing. So that was $$ well spent. Lastly on Saturday my sound deadening material showed up so I got busy installing that..... tomorrow I will sand blast and rebuild one door hinge Marc |
