Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Hello again....
There are a couple changes or redo's I've done since putting miles on the Truckster. I used 1/8" ABS backers for most of my interior panels including the headliner. It worked well everywhere except the interior side panels in the back. For one, the panels warped and I didn't like how they looked. Two, I also didn't use enough glue the first time so you can see the wrinkles in the material. I also changed the hardware size so I could match the fronts with the billet finish washer. For that I drilled out the 10/32 threads and tapped them to accept 1/4 - 20. I had foam left over and I ordered another yrd of material. The new backer material will be 1/8" aluminum. Using aluminum allows the backer to conform to the shape of the body but stiff enough to hold is shape. For this I needed to remove the 3rd row seat and take out some of the other seat springs to gain access. I will take more pics as it starts to go back tougher. Marc
