Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Hey Marc, this neat headlight modification showed up on another thread belonging to Tikal48. Very similar to what Mark did to mine. Thought you might want to see it. Here's the link http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...83#post8270683 and it's post number is 292...Jim

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Sadly no real updates to post. I was fired from my job in June and off work for 5 months, not to mention the old company I worked for also screwed me out of commission money, so there was really no funds for the Burb. I did start a new (more stable) job in November and look to get back at the Burb. I bought the frame paint and I made arrangements with my buddy at his Hotrod shop to spray my frame in the coming weeks. I did manage to get the frame lightly body worked and ready to paint. I will show some pics of that progress once the time comes.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Just build trucks for a living! hope things work out for you. I am self employed and let me tell you I know all about having no funds for the build. But, God is great and trials are necessary.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Sucks about your job I've been there before and it really sucks..
On a lighter note: Really cool project I love the burbs of this era. Its one near me just sitting in a guy's backyard and he will not sell, its a good thing because I don't need another project. Nice build man. Last edited by BAM55; 12-07-2018 at 01:36 PM. |

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I'm back on the 53....I have been busy selling parts from the LS motor that I didn't need to build some cash up. I have been working on getting my frame painted. Other than a few pieces that will be an accent color, I have the frame 90% painted. I went with a satin finish single stage urethane paint my friends that own the hotrod shop use on all of their builds. I like how it turned out. I have a few accent colors in mind for some of the other parts like the control and trailing arms.
Looking forward to some real progress over the summer. Marc
