Suburban frame same as truck frame?
Were the 47-53 suburban frames the same as one of the truck frames?

Yes except the Suburbans and Panels have 4 extra body mounts riveted to the frame.

Yep, rails, suspension, the whole thing. As said above 4 extra body mounts but they wouldn't be hard to fabricate. Just flat stock and a break and you'd be in like Flynn.
Fuel tank is moved so there may be some mounts there you'd have to update. Last edited by Dan Bowles; 03-30-2011 at 10:39 PM. |

plus the panels and burbs had extension piece on rear of frame for the bumper, also the panels and burbs used a front bumper on the rear as they had no dip in them.

I think it is more that the Panel/burb rear panel matches the front bumpers rather then being squared off like the box of trucks.
