Now I have searched this and come up with nothing so bear with me if the topic has been beaten to death and I just couldn't find it.
I came across a 1974 chevy suburban 4x4 with a 454/th400/np205 and a dana 44 front with a 12 bolt rear for $500. Now it is rusty as all get out but $500. that's a good deal! I also have a 1968 chevy c20 long bed 2wd that has been about to be converted to 4wd for the past 20 years.
The wheelbase on the suburban is 129.5 and wheelbase on my 68 is 127. this is quite a bit closer than the 74-87 trucks and the suburban frame and my 68's look more similar. (they both stay flat between the front and rear wheels if that makes any since)
Has anyone put a 67-72 body on a 73-91 suburban frame? Could you use any of the suburban's body mounts? How many body mounts need to be fabricated? Ex........
