Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Each day that passes, I'm closer to driving the "Family Truckster". I ran the motor the other day and let it reach temp. This reveled to me a few small coolant leaks due to incorrect gaskets on the cross over tube as well as collector leaks in the exhaust. I also detected a valve cover leak. My fans kicks on at the correct temp so that was a positive. I have been working on those fixes as well as rebleeding the brakes.

I have my license plate and insurance. I have a 7:30 am appointment on Friday to get an alignment and AC charged.

The final thrash is on.....Today might be a great day for a trip around the neighborhood.

A few teaser pics for ya....
