Rockman ,
no , I didn't the swap on my current C10.
It is my spare parts specialist who was surprised to see the conversion , he told me that the only solution to replace the olds 350 diesel engine by a gas one on the existing tranny was to put another Olds engine on it...
If I put the Olds engine in the Burb , it would be with the TH 350 on it , as a whole unit.
That engine/tranny is very good right now , it just leaks a little oil , no internal oil consumption at all
I could use also the Posi 12 bolts RR axle I have on the PU on the Burb ( pegleg 10 bolts now ).
I measured the wheelbase of the two vehicles , the Burb is 2 inches shorter than the C10 , so no body swap is possible , or maybe a stretched "Limo burb"
about a Burb vs. a PU , yes , I always wanted a Burb , I bought the PU because I needed a economical daily driver & it was a real bargain , as is the Burb right now...
And if it was no Burb , it would have been a Crew Cab...
