Can I use 92 donor truck on my 68? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My Alter Ego · 04-18-2014, 10:52 AM

I recently acquired a 68 GMC C30 Dually Flatbed and shared my find with a close friend. He has a complete, running 92 Chevy C30 Dually that he's offered to give me as a donor for the changes I pan to make to the suspension of my GMC. Can any of you tell me if this is a worthwhile donor for suspension pieces? I've read a number of threads on the forum that recommend using a 73-87 as a donor, but haven't found much on using this era truck. Also, the donor has Alcoas on it which I very much would like to put on my GMC. Any help, suggestions or insight would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The frame changes after 87 on the trucks and after 91 on the suburbans. The earlier stuff s more of a direct bolt in and the later stuff will not bolt up. That is why the 73 to 87's are the donor of choice.

You can use the motor and trans but you will have to feal with the motor being fuel injection the only other that will be reall useful is the seat
