Suburban to Crew Cab Conversion- Possible?

But, that results in a much more complicated job.

It might be easier to use the frame of a suburban, remove everything from fenders back and mount a 4 door cab with a shortbed onto it. With good measuring it would probably fit perfectly.

This is something I have been toying with for about three years now. I have a Suburban running good and I have a C10 gutted out. I plan to combined the two.
