IF it is the 73-87 bodystyle, yes.

If it is the '88-up with an IFS suspension, No. The control arms are bolted to the frame rails on those. There isn't an actual "crossmember" for the '88-up trucks like on the 60-87's

If it is a crewcab of suburban, it should. If it is a regular truck, no.

The newest that will is the 1991 Suburban or Crew Cab if you want 3/4T. It HAS to be the same square bodystyle as the 73-87.
