Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Bummer about the axles but you don't want to do it halfway and suffer later. It's pretty cool to make one stop and get it all done in a day especially with a custom job!
The spring perches look good - are you boxing those in by chance? I had a set just like that on a '69 Camaro with a 525hp 408 and a Richmond 5 speed and they collapsed during a very sporty burnout - I guess the tires were stickier that day! The rear end rolled as the perches collapsed and the driveshaft twisted off after it gouged a hole in the floor. Bad day.
Maybe overkill but every time I see a set of those it brings back expensive memories!
