Re: 66 swb frame
Shouldnt be anything I can think of except what you mentioned....maybe the emergency brake configuration due to the coil/leaf difference???

Re: 66 swb frame
The Suburban frames are the same 115" wheelbase, but the body mounts are different from the rear cab mounts back. The rear frame ends are designed for mounting a bumper similar to the front, whereas a pickup rear frame ends are just cut square.

Re: 66 swb frame
The radiator mounts on the Suburban frames are a little different than the pickups. The Suburban mounts on the frame have a piece of rubber bonded in the center of them. Much like the C20 and up rear cab mounts. So this GMC frame is a Suburban frame? No problem on the pics.

Re: 66 swb frame
That should work as long as it is a 1/2 ton 115 inch wheelbase. I forgot to mention before that there were 3/4 ton and 1 ton Suburbans and panels built that were a longer wheelbase
