Suspension Question
Hello everyone.
After a few years of inactivity on my '69, we were finally able to get the engine installation completed and the truck running under its own power. The 396BB I had built professionally is a beast. Have not been able to drive it yet, but can already feel the 460+ HP wanting to be used. I have many questions, but will ask this first. Regarding front cross member swaps, will a front cross member from a 93-94 Suburban (1500) work in my '69? I have seen many posts about using a '70's era cross member, but don't remember seeing anything about an early 90's being used. The advantage to this is 1. Its free 2. It has the disk break setup 3. The booster and associated plumbing and valve is included. I am going to be grabbing the seats out of it to replace the original, poorly redone bench seat with the sub seat (thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=613744&page=3) I am also going to take the 700r4 out of it and have it professionally built by Hughes in Phoenix to match the output of the 396. Any words or advice would be greatly appreciated.
