Front suspension change out
I want to change my front suspension.
I have been told that a newer front end from a suburban will bolt directly to a 67 pickup. What I don't know is what year suburban will work. I want disk brakes, power steering. Please let me know if you know. thanks tom |

welcome to the board from oregon, you will like it here. 71-79 is what people say, once you get into the 80's there are some differences in spindle sizes but if you use that year spindle it will work. i am currently doing the same with 81 parts. just make sure that you use all the parts from the year of the doner truck (ex if you are using a 75 use 75 ball joints, tierod ends...ect cause there are differences in these parts) and its not just subs its all 1/2 2wd trucks and blazers
there is 2 ways you can do it also. change the whole crossmember out or just spindles out. depending if you have a motor in or not.

If it's 4wd than yes bolting any GM front axle will work. You will have to pay attention to brake lines as the calipers changed to metric banjo fittings. As for the power steering you'll need the newer(71 and up) gear box and have to either dimple the frame or use spacers. Board member PONT has done this.

You'll need to dimple the frame as mentioned, spacers are a real bad idea.
