Buy yourself a K10 or K20 pickup long bed (127 inch wheel base) and put your Suburban body on top of it. You will have to change the body mounts that rivet to the frame that are Suburban specific, (I think the 3 rear ones) and use the rear frame horns from your original Suburban frame for the bumper to mount.

You are going to be much better off buying a complete truck that is already a 4x4 than buying all of the pieces needed separately.

Good luck and have fun,
Tom

The 2WD and 4WD frames are different. That's what makes it tough.
