Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I have a Lincoln mig pac 15. 220V 160A. It came with gas valve and regulator. Bought it for $600 13 years ago, have not done anything to it ever other than clean it out once. A lot of wire has gone through this machine. I also modified it to take a 44lb wire real of .035 almost time for a new one of those. Easily weld 1/4" single pass no prob. Frame looks real nice and solid.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
So I have been working through some minor set backs with my chassis. Nothing too serious. I have also been collecting some parts.
First I received my 13" big brake kit. Man these rotors and calipers look huge. I wanted to go with the 14" set up but I couldn't justify the extra cash when I still have so much money to spend... I also found a ZR2 rear end for cheap about an hr away. We are taking a short roadtrip on Saturday to pick it up... Here is a current shot of my frame.. Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Those brakes do look huge! Way more stopping power than anything the Burb ever had.
Chassis is looking good. Good luck with the ZR2 rear Marc. |

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
That rear was a nice find Marc. Having a good friend with a trailer is maybe better than owning one!

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
No...my Suburban is a 53. My truck is a 48. I was messing with my friend saying my truck will look good on his trailer. I only trailered it to the Columbus GG show last yr because my buddies cars were not done yet. I drive my 48 as much as possible. The suburban I don't plan on it having nice paint so I plan to drive it as much as possible.
Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I got out in the garage for a few hours on Sunday. After church on Sunday's seems to be the norm for getting out there.
I worked on getting the rear end, watts link and trailing arms set up. Keep in mind I mounted the axle pads upside down and didn't realize it until someone pointed it out on IG. Funny how things look soooo obvious after someone else points it out....ha ha. It's all good, this is why we mock stuff up first. Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Marc, that looks really trick! Usually I would figure out the pads were on the wrong side after I welded them on. Good catch.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I have been working hard to get the frame to a roller. I was close on sat then I realize my 15" roller rims would not clear the dropped spindles. Then I realized that I could steal two 17" rims off my Camaro.
I need to replace the front wheels studs to match the ones in my rear end. the plan is to barrow my friends LS mock up block to see how the f-body exhaust manifolds fit. Pretty stoked to see it laid out. Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
That looks very good Marc! It is a good feeling to have a roller.
Those PB parts are beautiful and makes me want to build something with them. Ah, so many cool ideas, so little time and money. Good luck with the exhaust fitting. Hopefully Camaro manifolds will work. |
