Yes, I'm kind of looking forward to it. I learned so much the first time around, it should not take me 1/2 as long. On my 48 I replaced the Inner/outer cab corners, complete floor, toe boards and firewall and inner and outer side cowls. On the 53 I don’t anticipate the main floor and toe boards. everything else looks to be solid.
I plan to make my own floor pans for a couple reasons. One the replacement floors come will all of the factory holes for the stock set up. Since I would have to weld up a bunch of holes anyway I will just make my own. Additionally Suburban’s have a add on piece of flat sheet metal on the passenger side of the floor to allow for a flat floor when climbing into the back seat using the factory folding jump seat. I can accomplish this just as easy with one price of flat sheet metal.
Oh and to me rust repair has to be the most depressing photos to post. I will continue but it is my least favorite work to document.
Thanks
