Re: Suburban to Crew Cab Conversion- Possible?

heres what i did, I wanted a diesel avalanch.... so I improvised and its still an ongoing project but i love it. I had an 83 diesel burban i beat the hell outa till i cracked a head then i cut the rear of a cab off my grandpas old truck before it went to the junkyard and welded it in. found some bedsides and chopped the bed rails off them i for the rails and matched the tailgate. I wish i could redo things now since my fab skills have increased significantly but its a big learning experiance and what better to learn on than your $750 burban that dont owe u anything lol. Its got a 6.5 turbo diesel and nv4500 tranny out of a 93 chevy. Im planning on running the 14 bolt rear from that truck and a ford dana 60 front to match the transfer case. She aint pretty but when i get done hopefully it will be! Glad I finally found a great site with so much information!!!!
