Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Well I started my Porterbuilt install yesterday. I talked with Nate at PB to plan the install. He would like my feed back on this install and I committed to him to document it with a lot of pictures. I measured a bunch before making the first cut. I also tooled up with a new 1/2" drill. I'm pretty happy with the progress that I made.

I overlaid the frame rail to mark the locator holes. the front does not align with any factory holes. Scary at first but once Nate explained how to positon the drop member to find my location it made perfect sense.

I cut my frame using a cutting wheel on my electric grinder and I was surprised at how easy it cut the fame.
