60-63 GMC Suburban frame ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The Suburbans and Panels have the same suspensions as pickups ('60-'62 with torsion bars) The typical Suburbans and Panels are the same wheelbase as a short pickup, 115". The Suburban and Panel frames have a little drop at the back to accomodate the back of the body instead of straight as on a pickup frame. Also if you were to put that '62 Suburban on a '63-'66 frame be it another Suburban frame or a pickup frame, all the body mounts from the B pillar back will be wider than the '63-'66 frame. Just like anything, it can be done if you have the skills and the desire to make it happen.
