Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
LOL. The one I like is "How do you drive it that low" and then someone told me the best response, "I don't I built it right there for you to look at" you know if you want to give a stupid answer.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I have been out driving and debugging. My buddy tuned the Truckster and what a difference that made. I pushed the truck much harder than any other time during this process. It helped identify a few items to fix. Nothing major. Got the AC charged...
I finished 99% of the front interior (carpet and door cards). I will cover the kick panels with ABS for now so I don't have to looks the the sounds deadener. The goal was always to drive it to the Goodguys show in Columbus. Looks like we will make it. My 16yr old son and I will shove off Thursday. An oil change, a pinon seal change on the tail shaft of the trans are on the short list of to do's. A quick detail. Here are some pics... Marc
