They both were street legal at some point. Front portion, 88 bought from a kid in Idaho, no motor. Missing parts. 200.00 including shipping. Rear portion, is an 80. Sat in a wrecking yard for 15 years. Traded a running late 90's Honda Accord and some cash for it.
Sorry. Yes they are one. Needs welding cleaned up. Never a runner as one. I'm still figuring out the running gear, which is why I joined this group.
Interesting. So a 2wd rear axle is narrower? My hope is to use the sliding door. If not due to axle, wheel, tire width, I'll fill wing the door or hinge it. My hope is to control axle width first, then wheel offset. Offset will also be determined by wheel size, clearing breaks etc...Lots to figure.
You are correct, these trucks had the tanks in the frame on the left side, whereas the Suburbans and Tahoes got them in the rear. IIRC, Suburbans got a 42 gallon tank vs the puny 25 gallon tank in the 6.5' bed.
So 2wd Suburban only or also the truck? I would need to most likely regear the rear diff to match the front? Or find a full 4x4 donor and make it work...then find 2wd rear and hopefully use the 4x4 rear diff Gears in the 2wd, assuming the carrier(?) Can accept the new gears?You are correct, these trucks had the tanks in the frame on the left side, whereas the Suburbans and Tahoes got them in the rear.

@Tyce Ferwerda, yes, 2WD axle is narrower. How much, that I don't know, someone with a 2WD will have to chime in on that.
Yes they do, at least mine does (44 gal).
