Hello guys, I need a little bit of guidance as I'm not to sure on what to do, I don't want to waste money by doing the wrong thing.

I just bought a 1972 K10 Suburban (I never thought they existed) with the rear AC and this factory Front metal grill/guard, I think it was the deluxe back on the days. I can probably upgrade it to softer leafs, gear it up but I definitely want to do something with the transmission, engine and transfer case. In the meantime I bought a 2005 Yukon Denali as a donor truck with a 6.0 engine and 4WD, powerful enough to tow my Toy Hauler.

NOW,

I'm getting nightmares trying to figure out my plan; if I use the Denali's chassis and drop the k10's body in it. Or transfer everything from the Denali to the k10 along with the rear differential (also the front suspension if I can).

Any answers/comments will be much appreciated... I was looking online for somebody that had already done it with no luck.

Thank you.
