I havn't heard of anyone doing the swap on a Yukon. I'm sure it's due to cost. S10's can be had for way less than a full size. What's the Yukons track width in the front? If you plan on lifting it, it won't matter. However, if you're going to have it low you will have to pick a rim with the right offset to tuck the wheel. Also, what about the frame rail width where the cab will sit (I'm asking this question for the 55-59 guy's). There was a guy on here that used a fullsize truck frame (88-98) under his 47-55. I couldn't find his build sorry.
