Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I managed to get out in the garage for a bit on Sunday. Most of the time was spent rewilding my rear watts link mounting tabs. I only tack welded it on so it was not that big of a deal.
I borrowed a LS mock up block from my friend Friday so I threw that in to check oil pan clearance. It looks like my F-body oil pan will clear the drop member nicely. I was also please to see the driver side F-body manifold fit. The seating needs to be sorted out yet but It will be close. The passenger side is requiring more messaging in order to fit.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Youngrodder, frame looks great. That PB stuff is awesome looking stuff. Those poly blocks sure make things easier, no struggling like an iron block.

I think I will move my focus toward the gas tank, since AD (Doug) has already done the heavy lifting on that. I have always been good at copying off others school work. Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
The plastic blocks are such a cool thing. Nice to have friends with cool things.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
If the Camaro tank is too long, a 55 Chevy tank might fit. Another option is a 53 Chevy. I think I remember they were both shorter front to rear than the Camaro...I measured for a number of tanks from dimensions on Tanksinc.com web site. And both have a fill that may clear between the frame and Burb body.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Well let me start off by saying that due to cyber bullying I decided that I needed to get out in the garage and accomplish something. I don't want to name the source of the bullying as I would not want any ill will toward the offending party. It just wouldn't be fair to Advance Design (Doug)....
I installed my frame mounted brake pedal/booster set up. I think this is right. All of the holes lined up here. I was lucky as I filled a lot of the holes before I remembered that I needed to install my pedal set up. There were no instructions so I tried to use common sense. You know how that can go....Let me know if this does not look right to anyone. I also treated the lower third of the body and rear wheel wells with POR15. I plan to seam seal then coat the same areas with raptor liner which is kind of like a spray on bed liner. I also removed the rear brace and will start planning my gas tank solution. On to the pics

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Guilty as charged I guess...sorry man...good progress Marc. Way more than I did this week end....busy with yard work, equipment maintenance and determining the exhaust tips I ordered won't work.
The brake assembly looks to be in the right place to me and same as my 48 truck was. I had an issue with the transmission mount wanting to be in the same place as the master cylinder that hopefully you won't run into. Good luck as you and I continue to vie for third place in the Iceburgh, Youngrodder, Advanced Design Burb build off... |

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Looks great. I know what you mean about getting the truck ready for the season, mine still needs some attention. I will rephrase that, a lot. But at least it is drive able. All good thing take time. That burb should drive great.

Yes, I hear you about yard work. I did that the weekend before. I still need to open the pool in a few weeks which will waste a weekend. Oh and I'm soooo confident that I will have 3rd place locked up that I've ordered myself a trophy. Quote:
