Chassis differences ....

My buddy just picked up a 52 Suburban.

He also has a 49 5 window that is down to a bare rolling chassis.

Wondering if the frames are the same ??

He would like to build the truck frame, then swap under Burban

Thanks

Re: Chassis differences ....

You just posted your question last night. Not everyone is on here all the time. Give it some time bro. Have you searched the forum, or Google?

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

Re: Chassis differences ....

My bad .... "bro"


I guess I am just used to the 60-66 crowd who respond with lightening speed.

As far as search, I rather ask the forum crowd who are typically more hands on that Google.

No rush, my question is out there, I am sure I will get a response soon.

Thanks for the heads up, Josh

Re: Chassis differences ....

The frames themselves are the same. However there are some Suburban specific brackets that will have to be swapped over. That shouldn't be a major issue though. It has been discussed once or twice before if you do a search on it.

Re: Chassis differences ....

I thought I answered from my phone but apparently I hit the wrong key. The link in my signature will drop you on a 56 book, scroll down to the year index tap, they select the truck years. The books have specific frame information on all models. I can't remember if it shows the mount locations with dims. The factory assembly manual does.

Re: Chassis differences ....

If I remember right the holes are already there in a pickup's frame for the extra brackets.
