Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I have been spending more time in the garage as of late. Here is what I have to show for it. I picked up a class 4 hitch for stupid cheap. It was too narrow so I was going to pass on it but then the guy said how about $20.00. For that price I figured that I could cut it up and make it work. I cut off the large mounting brackets and I bought some smaller square tube to slide into the hitch to make it the width I needed. More work needed to figure out my brackets. The end product would be close to how BEEP did his. The receiver will stick through the bumper and the received would hold the plate.

I also removed my radio delete plate (which I already sold on EBay) and welded shut the holes...

I removed the mock up block and in anticipation of receiving my 1" higher motor mounts from Porterbuilt.

That's all folks.....
