Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
your 'faux tina' painting is excellent.
I have tried to do it, and it is not that easy. Thanks for the pics |

I have been plugging away on the wiring. I just about have it whooped. Here are my Dakota Digital HDX gauges. I treated the trim rings to a brushed finish. It's hard to see but the gauge on the left has been brushed. The gauge on the right has not.
Installed the gauges then I threw the wheel on to see how it all looks. I'll post some pics soon of the wiring. I have spent a lot of time laying it out nicely. Thank you Marc |

You sir are an artist.
I did something similar to fit my LED headlights so nice at night. |

That mirror arm looks old ad legit. Great work. I really like those gauges. I'd love to buy them for my 40 but geeze! Where does the money bleeding end? :lol:

Pretty sure I saw that mirror on the 'gram and couldn't tell which was which.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
gauges look soooo nice

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Do you have any tips for making things look that distressed? I've done some but yours looks way more legit than mine did. :lol:

On Saturday I drove to Indiana to pick up my third row seat. I'm stoked with how it all turned out. It is sooooo comfy too. I'm also having stock arm rests covered in the same chocolate leather. My upholstery guy will make me a shift boot and some cool visors. I will share more on that later. My 48 didn't have visors because I was going for a cleaner look, but there were times when I wised I had them.
I should return in about a week to pick up my middle and front rows and the other misc. pieces. Marc |

On Sunday I played around with the CCTek tool I barrowed from my friends. With this tool you can set up a rim width, check tire fitment and set up your back spacing. Since I had the tires I think I will run, I was able to dial it all in. These tools are expensive. Luckily I barrowed it from my friends that own the hotrod shop.
The rear tires are 265 x 40 x 22. (30.35" dia) and the fronts are 255 x 35 x 22 (29.03 dia), which are pretty large diameter tires (especially if you are trying to layout). For the rear I will go with a 22 x 10" rim. The front is still TBD but I'm thinking about a 22 x 9". Ideally I would like to order the wheels soon because it is probably a 6-8 week lead-time. Also my fabricating friend stopped by with my lower dash panel that he is working on for me. He's getting close. All in all a pretty productive weekend. Marc |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
That’s an awesome tool. No pics of the lower dash panel?

marc, what determined if you got the clamshell or barn doors on the AD suburban?
i believe with TF panel gets barn door and suburban gets clamshell http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1607605885 i did the 2012 power tour with my painter, who owns this AD suburban also found these from the same 2012 power tour TF suburban and 60-66 suburban both with clamshell |

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
yeah that tilt out brake light is something else
your' sis probably the only suburban i've seen with barn doors |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Seat looks really nice Marc!! That rim tool is crazy, it has a ton of adjustment. I have seen one before but didn't pay attention.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
That seat is so nice! I like the retro look in the center material. Man, I'd love to have that wheel set up tool too! I wished I had one when I was configuring my 40. This thing is going to be killer!
