Thanks Jim. I'm sure it is something dumb. As long as I have been messing with EFI it's usually something simple.

Thank you
Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

My family and I just got back from a Vaca to Arizona. When the trip needed to be rescheduled due to Caronia 1.0, I planned the trip around Dino's get down. If you know about the Get Down then you know. It has been one of those bucket list car shows for me. I was blown away. We also dropped in on Tre5 for a quick tour on our way into town. Tre5 has been a shop that I have admired for some time. They were very accommodating in showing me and my boys around. They build "Bad Apple" the drk green AD pictured. A lot of cool details in this one.

Great family trip....now lets see if I can't get this test fire accomplished.

My phone is jammed full of pics of cool trucks. Here are a few of most body styles represented (I like them all).

Thanks
Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I have been picking away on the Suburban. I installed my column. No real surprises as I pre-assembled this a time ago. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't scratch the column on the install. I have also been picking away on some of the wiring.

Thanks
Marc

I got them quite some time ago. I think they are Borgeson universal joints. I think this is close to what they are

I was very cool, from the venue to the quality of trucks. It's been a bucket list show for me for quite some time. I would love to have a truck in the show at some point.

Nice work on the project! I as well want to get to Dino's! I'd like to do Dino's then the Good guy's show as well. I have no idea when that will ever happen though.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Here are a few pics of my recent efforts. Since my tail lights are mounted in the rear doors, I chose to use Magnum Shooters to eliminate the need for wires passing thru from the body to the doors. I used these on my 48 because I had power windows and electronic door solenoids. They work great. They come in many varieties.

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dak-mgs-3

I also added a pos & neg junction post to my removable fuse panel. This will allow for a ground or power source for additional accessories.

One of my goals with this build was to do a better/more organized routing of the wiring than I did on my 48. I have rally tried to think this one thru.

Thanks
Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

very nice,

I like how your wires exit the cab through the side kick panel, instead of the firewall. very smart, I wish I did that.

Thanks, I did this on my last build and ran them on the backside of the inner fenders. Kind of a less is more thing. I try to hide as much as I can from plain site. The EFI harness exits the cap thru the floor under the seat. I have a big rubber grommet not shown.

Thanks
Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I was able to fish my front and rear wire assemblies to the front and rear in a wire loom through the frame, but I exited the cab below the booster, yours looks way better.

Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing your ideas. (makes me think about the next one..... ??)

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Very nice work!!! Has anyone had those door contact junctions on for a while? I wonder how they hold up over time? We have sprinters at work that use similar pieces and we have issues with them. I thought about using some of these on my 40 Ford but just couldn't decide.

I used them on my 48 truck that I owned. I ran these with these same contacts for 10 years with no issues. They have a lot of adjustability on each contact in and out to adjust for various door gap. Each contact is spring loaded and can be individually adjusted. That is probably the difference with the Sprinter you reference.
