Cross member

My c20 is dead, and I may get a 77 Suburban for a about $800. It runs great, but looks like hell. Just the interior the exterior is in decent condition for its age.

The Burb is a C10 model, and I have new brakes on my C20. Plus I would like the extra stopping power.

Would my control arms swap over or do I need to do the whole cross member.

Re: Cross member

From what i have read you can keep your crossmember just swap the control arms spindles and maybe tie rod ends.

Re: Cross member

I haven't gotten them yet. They will be delivered this coming weekend, and then I will post a few pics of the after math when I have a chance to do so.

Since I do not have a yard large enough for 3 trucks. I need to dispose of the rolled one fast, and get the good one to roller status fast. Then deal with my C20, and I plan to do that in a fast 4 day trash.
