help find suburban 4x4 conversion thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bill66K1000 · 11-16-2019, 04:41 AM

I could be losing my mind but I thought I had found a thread some short time back about a 60's suburban converted to 4x4 using a late square body suburban donor truck. Had some good pictures in the thread as well. I cannot find it again to save my life and need some info on swapping the rear axle spring hangers onto a 66 GMC. I have a decent idea of what I'll have to do just a big commitment to remove the original and set up and drill holes for the 80 suburban 14 bolt axle I have.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks Captainfab! That was the one I was searching for. Also thanks for the excellent power steering gearbox bracket, worked out nicely. Cant believe I've been away for so long. Thought I had it figured out and recently mounted up the spring hangers from the 80 K20 Suburban to my 66 but now I'm having trouble compressing the springs to line up in the hanger. Could be the springs have sagged quite a bit too though.
