72 2-WD Suburban to 4-WD Suburban - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

skyhawk1 · 02-10-2003, 07:14 PM

Hey folks, I'm usually over on the67-72 message board, but I thought you guys may be able to help me. I have a 72 Suburban that I want to convert to 4-WD. I found a 79 Suburban 3/4 ton 4x4 that I may buy and try to put my 72 body on the 79 frame. Does anyone know if it will bolt up. Also the 79 has automatic hubs. I was wondering if I could just go to Advance and buy lock-in/lock-out hubs and change it over to manual hubs, or is it more complicated than that? Any help would be appreciated.
