I have a 64 Suburban. It is way way shorter than a newer Suburban. The wheelbase isn't even close.

Just build it with your Suburban donor. There are very few mchanical differences between the 64 and the 67-72 trucks, and this site is full of 67-72 info.

The whole front suspension and steering off your Suburban will bolt onto the earlier truck. That's what the other guy was talking about.
