Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

If you go through the floor with a medium notch that is the same height as the rear seat riser and lay the seat bottom on the notch tunnel you might pull it off, but the tunnel falls where the 3rd seat passenger feet area is. PM chizzler and have him get yousome measurements. You might be able to have a raised floor and the kiddos won't mind and still lay frame

That was kind of what I was thinking as well. I have e-mailed Chizzler a few different times. I think that he told me that he is not running a 3rd row seat.

I even considered cutting of the legs off the seat and mounting it to the notch. Again I'm just spit balling here as I need to measure stuff out and see where everything lines up. I have plenty of time for that. It will take me a little bit to save up for my PB stuff.

Thanks
Marc

It sounds like yours definitely gets used. I have always liked your burb. If I recall correctly you are running an LT1 just like I am in my 48 truck. My friend is trying to drag me to Columbus this yr..

Thanks for stopping in.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Looking good, look forward to seeing more.

As for going to Columbus, it's fun but Iowa GG is REALLY a great show. Much better venue.

Keep it up...

That's right. I know all about the truck build that Shannon is doing for you. I always enjoy seeing his work/progress on his many builds.

I appreciate the motivation. It's just what I need with over 18" of snow on the ground an sub zero temps....

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

youngrodder, Thank you Marc. Tell me about it. We have had snow on the ground for awhile now and weather in the single digits. I am so ready for spring. We should all meet up in Columbus. I was there a few years ago and it was the best show I was ever at.
