Swap 70 PU Cab to 90 4x4 Sub

Hello

I have access to a 1970 PU Cab and Frontend. There is no frame or bed, however I have gone through all the points that habor rust in this vintage truck and there is none. The farmer has it stored in a hay barn, several in fact.

I have a 1990 4x4 Suburban, solid front axle with a wheelbase of 127, that is a great daily driver that I am considering making into a donor chassis for the 1970 PU.

Is this possible? What are the biggest issues that I will face? Has anyone done this?

Thanks for the time.

The '90 burb is the same as the 73-87 isn't it? If so, (and asuming the wheelbase is 127)you would be able to do this with a body lift to line up the pending bed.
On second thoguht, the burb may have a flat/near flat frame, and you might not need to do much of a lift at all. 67Mudder dod this style swap but on a p/u chassis.
