Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I picked up some 16g metal for my floor pans. I also bought some 1 x 2 square tube for some under the floor bracing. Before I can weld the floor in I needed to repair the seat riser since this part is not remanufactured.

Here are a few pics to show how the seat riser was eaten away by rust at the bottom.




After spending a few hours on it the last two days here is the repaired seat riser. I'm happy with how it turned out. Keep in mind that I will sand blast this prior to rewelding it on.







I might get some more garage time tomorrow and with it being in the 40's (warm front) I might get started on creating my floor pan templates out of cardboard.
