Re: Chassis swap questions
I'm sure it's been done somewhere... it's going to be a pretty involved process with some custom fab work needed.
Aren't you suppsoed to be cruisin' around with your buddies at the burger joint?  Gary

Re: Chassis swap questions
Gunna be a LOT of work. You would be better off finding a 67-72 long bed chassis and not use that $10 suburban you bought. Going to be a nightmare of body mounts and making the thing all bolt together and be safe. Why take the body off that other truck to put on a suburban frame? Just fix up that existing truck and give it to her. Sounds like you are creating a LOT of unnecessary work for yourself. Or fix that suburban and throw a motor into it. Not trying to discourage you or anything but it just seems like the wrong way to do things.
