The weather looks suspect for Saturday. It might be a no go. We might hit one up closer to home (Marshall) if the weather looks sketchy. Quote:

Warning....Photo heavy update!!
Since our maiden voyage to Columbus, OH in Mid July, we have have been burning up the roads as a family in the Truckster. We have hit up several cruise nights, car shows, cars N coffee events to name a few. I have regularly driven the Suburban to work and run errands (like Home Depot) as well as a few ice cream runs. The odometer sits just under 2,500 since (Since July). All of this driving has made me realize I NEED cup holders. I have an idea for a slick solution without detracting from the simplicity of the interior/dash. More on that later. We have had a blast. Here are some pics from the various events. Thanks Marc |

I told you it was picture heavy..
The last red sky pic was from our way home from a cruise night yesterday in Middlebury IN. It was the last cruise night of the season and had well over 1,000 cars. It was a great time for a drive. MI weather in the fall is the best time to have an old car/truck to bomb around in. Marc |

Great pics, great use of the truck, and great build
Glad to hear that everyone is enjoying that very cool truck. Thanks for sharing |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Awesome pics, and keep them coming. We just did a large cruise here as well and I enjoy it for the same things this time of year. It has been pretty warm this fall and I'll take it so I can get a bunch of stuff done before it turns to cold in a weekend. That's how it seems to work here lately.

Operation Cup Holder/////
With driving as much as we do it helped to identify how badly I needed cup holders in the Truckster. Like most of the build details I didn't want the cup holder to look like a stuck on after thought. I also didn't want to spend a ton of $$ on a solution. I purchased a double barrel cup holder from LS Fab. These were designed with the intent of mounting under the dash. Since I used a custom lower dash panel and was out of real-estate I come up with a different solution. These cup holders are SS and very heavy gauge metal. Like all of their other products very nice quality. I purchases some tube clamps of Amazon that would be used for mounting lights on an off road vehicle. I then cut up the mount to better fit my location. The offset of the mounting hole location I drilled were dictated by the seat spring supports. The goal was to center the cup holders in cab. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Cheers.... |

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I like that. Good idea for use with a bench seat.

On Saturday taking advantage of this great fall weather, I cruised over for Josh's (JJH Jimmy) to check out his projects. I really like what he's got going on. Thanks your chatting about trucks on Saturday. **Oh, it tried out the cup holder this weekend and I'm very pleased. The ergonomics of the location works great. Marc |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Looks like you and the fam are having a great time in the Truckster. Put all that time and effort into a build there is no better way to enjoy it. Your cup holders look great.
