Has anyone out there tried to swap frames? I need to know if a 70 Suburban body will fit on a 78 suburban frame? Any type of help or solutions would be very helpful.
Thanks

nope....

1. frame horns ends shapes way different, bumpers wont swap,

2. wheelbase is 4.5" different, longer in 73-up,

3. body frame mounts all different,

4. there more, i cant remember,

5. if you have a welder and cutting wheel and alot of tie and etc then you could do it eventually.,

6. what is wrong with 70 chassis ????? its hella lot better than the thinner 73-up crap

good luck
