73 up parts for 67-72? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a chance to part a mid-late 70's suburban. What can be used on 67-72 trucks worth keeping? Thanks

motor tranny, front suspension, rear axle, leafsprings, door seals, distributors, alts, steering box.

That is EXACTLY what we did on mine (even down to the parts car being a sub), except for door seals & steering box (both were shot). Couldn't use leaf springs.

If the 67-72 doesn't have disc brakes and both vehicles are 2WD, you can probably use all the front steering, suspension, and brake parts.

Headlight switch.
