Burb chassis has a couple of extra body mounts but that is supposed to be the only difference.

You can use a pickup frame but you'll have to weld a couple of extra body mounts on each side (pic attached).

Here's also is a pic of a Suburban/Panel frame; you can see the extra mounts just above and behind the running board brackets.
