Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Since the weather was pretty crummy this weekend, I did get some work done. I decided that I will go with a 2 piece drive shaft. Picture supplied by Nate. This is pretty common with the C-10 trucks and my Porterbuilt kit is very similar to their C-10 stuff. The benefit to a 2 piece drive shaft is I will not have to cut anymore of my floor (major bonus). I will need a carrier barring bracket from PB. This will be the next care package from Nate.
I finished the small notches for caliper clearance. The notch is not as big as it looks, and there is a lot more frame than what shows in the picture so some worry its safe. I welded pipe inside to notch to reinforce the notch.
I also cleaned up the welds on the underside of the wheel tubs. I coated them with Por15. Next will come the seam sealer and later the raptor bed liner. Pics to come on this later.
