89 suburban parts into 82 short bed

[tbirdman88]

just bought a 82 short bed with manual doors,and a 89 suburban for parts. trying to find the thread on rear suburban gas tank install, also need to know if i should use the dash wiring,under hood wiring,abs master cylinder,fuse block. I guess i'am asking should i update everything under the hood and inside cab. I want to use the fuse block so every thing will just plug back in including the headlight harness.

well then id use everything then, but id also cut out the 89 dash too and get that big radio opening if i were doing it.

someone will ring in on the tank install.

I used a suburban tank in mine. It is pretty big. I think that if it its going in a 2wd rig it wont work. The front of the tank in mine sits over the rear end. I dont know if they had a smaller tank in some of the suburbans like the balzers.

Also, to keep the tank from hanging too low, I kept the top of the tank higher than the frame rails. So I had to clearance one of the ribs on the bottom of the bed. (sorry no pics of that)
