1994 Suburban C1500 Broken shock mount

[HotWheelsBurban]

back from the scrap yard, sadly i saw two gmt400s in there 93 & 96 extended cab long bed, they both had 4 leaf springs where the suburban has 6, then the frame is different, then the shock mounts are different, the trucks i looked at both had a round-style mount as seen in the video above and it looks simple to replace (and theres room to do it) as for the suburban its completely different, the mount is huge, it's actually part of a cross-memeber on the frame and not only supports the shock but also has a body mount sitting in there and holds up the gas tank, there's no way to fix it unless it's a body off restoration, strange thing is not all suburbans are like that, as seen in this video, but for me, it looks like that u-bolt "solution" is here to stay

Yep Burbs are way different than pickups in some respects. You just saw one of them....makes it super fun to do anything back there around that big tank. I had to put a trailer hitch on our first square body Burb, 32 years ago, and it was no fun at all. Also pulled rear bumpers on square body Burbs in the yards, there's not much room to work there either.
