Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I have been busy working on the floor structure. I added more supports as well as the structure that goes up and over the large notch. I paid close attention to place one of the support structures over the body mounting tabs. I will drill through the support to that I can bolt the body through the floor and structure to the frame like it was from the factory. In one of the pictures you will also see I placed a small piece of the rear floor to get an idea of how it will look.

everything is spot welded at this point. This is a good thing because I had to change around one piece I welded in because I used the wrong measurement...that's what the mock up process is for.

I also added one piece across the notch. I might add another one above the gas tank.

The vision I have for the floor is some type of cool looking wood in the front and rear sections of the floor and a metal notch cover.
