Re: 68 Burb chassis swap with 2007 Burb?

I'm doing a '71 2wd burb onto an '02 4wd Avalanche chassis. Newer frame is about 6" wider in the rails. So, need to rework body mounts. Best to just cut off and mod the '07 mounts. Plan on shortening the frame 3". It's fully boxed, so I did a Z cut when I shortened the Av frame. I think the '07 burb should have front struts vs torsion bars. This will allow more leeway in where you make the frame cuts. Cutting forward of the gas tank will simplify the fuel system if you choose to keep as much of the '07 mechanicals. I'm in central AR if you have questions. Just PM me. If you're ever in the Little Rock area, you can stop by my shop and look at my rebuild
