Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Looks good... You said you were painting the frame so you could touch it up. What about the PB parts? Powder coat or paint?

I think I will use a combination of paint and powder coat. I have a idea for colors but I'm not sure yet. I did drop the parts off at the stripper today. I'm curious to see how they turn out.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Are you going to remove the cab and running board mounts to get better paint coverage?

Are you being serious??? If so, the answer is no. After removing some 60 or so rivit's with what I have done so far I'm not looking to tackle more. I'm not overly concerned. Overall the frame is in great shape.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

While I wait for my frame to come back from the strippers, I though I would separate the motor from the trans and remove more of the engine accessories.

The PB parts that are not getting stripped have been cleaned with a wire wheel on my grinder and piled up to take to the painter next week to put them in epoxy primer. The company I work for Agio Imaging (shameless plug) is closed the week after Christmas so I should get some good garage time in.

I really need to research what all emission crap I can remove from the engine in an effort to declutter. I see so many LS engines that are very clean.

Just finished my harness a month ago. Lt1swap.com has everything you need (complete pin outs). Also has a good Facebook link with pic of reworking the harness. I hate wiring, but it's pretty easy. Can't wait to see your frame with some paint!
