Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Thanks, It really is when I compared it to my 48 truck I last built. I ordered 5 yards of carpet and pad.
Thanks man.. Quote:

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Well its time.....I bring to you "The Family Truckster".
I decided to hit up our hometown car show with my son Austin on Saturday. We decided at the last minute to go. The drive wasn't perfect and it helped identify areas of improvement that are needed but it was fun to get peoples reaction. I have 2 of the three rows of seats mounted. I like looking past the weathered paint and distress into the nice new interior. Oh and it is also dog approved as seen by "Cinder" The list for this week. * Swap out the master cylinder. * Install the side glass. Thank you Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
What a great combo. Really digging the color choices.
What’s wrong with the master cylinder?

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Amazing! congrats on the first outing Austin must have loved it. Like you said most people will not know some of the mods to get it that low, but that just shows you did a great job.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Good to know. I have a very similar m/c setup and mine leaks too. Hard for me to change since my brakes work so good though.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
While I wait for my new Wilwood master to show up today to get my brakes sorted out, I decided to install my side rear windows...Man what a pain. Now I know why most people replace the sliding glass with one flat piece.
I hope my passengers appreciate the air flow...ha ha 2 down with 2 to go............... Marc
