Well that was a short answer! Not many parts have changed from 73-87 (plus 73-91 Suburban and Blazer). Welcome to the group!

Si,
Welcome to the board. Is your truck wrecked?
I'll be using some A-arms off a Suburban on my truck. This will help save time on the rebuild. One of truck's A-arms is beyond repair anyway.

Welcome! I moved from Hurst to North Richland Hills about a year ago.

Do you have pics of your truck?

Yep, suburbans and trucks are the same as far as front-end goes.

Didn't mean to sound rude. Wanted to answer your question, but was in the middle of something else, although it was a little short wasn't it?

Welcome to our little world.
