I just havent been able to find a 69-72 1/2 ton 2wd suburban fram anywhere close by me in oregon. So is it possable to use a chevy pickup frame? Wheelbase the same? any info will help...

Thanx in advance

I am not an expert but I believe that the only difference is at the rear. The burb frame is a little longer for the bumper to mount. You could use a truck frame but would have to make some bumper bkt extensions. Like I said I am no expert but I believe it works with the bumper being your only curve.

Other then the rear bumper bracket area, do you know if the body mounts are all in the right spot? Thanx

Some of the suburban mounts are different.
