pickup can on a suburban frame
Hi all
I have been finding more and more rust on my suburban as i go. this thing needs to much body work to be saved but the motor trans rear etc are all in excellent shape. Does anyone know if i get a regular cab and long bed will they bolt to my frame with out modifications? |

Re: pickup can on a suburban frame
They will not, the wheelbases are different, as are the frames in general.

The Burb is actually shorter in wheelbase than the LWB. As Jeff said, won't work.

Re: pickup cab on a suburban frame
can at least the cab bolt on? this will be more of a work truck so i could make a flat bed for it
i can get a good cab and the front sheet metal is nice |

Re: pickup can on a suburban frame
I don't think the rear mounts are there, but you can mount the cab on with some work.

Re: pickup can on a suburban frame
The ones under the front (at your feet) are there, the center rear ones are the ones I say are not there.
