Chassis/Suspension Mods on a Budget

Found this Suburban listed locally:

Figured it has just about all of the stuff I need. Will Burb tanks work in SWB frames? Also, has anyone put a set of Burb front buckets in one of our cabs?

I'll just feel bad about chopping up a running Chevy like that. It'd be different if it were wrecked or rusting in a yard, but to snuff out a running truck and relegate it to parts just seems shameful.

Purchased 73 stock spindles from an old brake place. Rotors, calipers, upper and lower ball joints and outer tie rods from Kragen (now Oreily) for 380.00
Purchased a front and rear lowering springs with sway bars from CPP for 450.
So yes it can be done.

I don't think that tank will work but the front crossmember.,engine,tranny,Ps,and Brakes will work.I'm not sure about the brackket o the booster.The Body parts should get back some of the cost.However,the engine rebuild may be questionable,the front suspension may need all new Ball joints,bushings,tie rod ends etc.So check it over very carefully if you decide to go this way.I just saying $900 seems really cheap for a truck like that in "good" condition.
