My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban

I think they also got the 14BFF? I think that's correct...

I saw a green C1500 TD not that long ago on Offerup. But you are right, the TD front bumper is a pretty common mod. Who knows.

I think it was the 9.5" 14SF?

Probably that's right. Still a pretty robust axle.

Yup. I'm really hoping it is what it appears to be. That could be a fun truck to daily drive.

The main reason I am considering the flaming pile'o'crap, pieces missing Burb is that I have a trip to just north of Atlanta coming up in a few months. I'd quite like to have a comfy 2wd diesel Burb for road trippin'

Do you own another pickup truck? Or just the K2500 Suburban?

If you are like me and always finding myself hauling crap crap home, a truck bed is better suited for that.

Definitely true. But I'm partially wanting to hold out for a K2500 eclb or another K3500 cclb like what I used to have.

Anyone know how hard it is to swap from the NP246 AutoTrac setup to the NP241 InstaTrac?

Saw that the day he posted it!
I actually have everything gathered up for the swap except a 241C. I've managed to souce a correct length shifter for a 4L80E/NP241C, bezel, handle, all mounting points and hardware, etc.... Now I'm just trying to get lucky and find a 32 spline 241C. That's '97-'99.

You can swap input shaft and bearing from a 27 spine unit or whatever the little ones were. I put a 32 spline input and bearing on my 243.

Not sure if you want to pull it yourself or pay a yard to pull it for you? Nor do I know what is in your area but, try these.

I myself will wait till warmer weather, I'm not trudging through 10in of snow to verify anything, let alone spend hrs on my back in the cold pulling the parts.

Feel like selling the k2500 burb?

I have a spare borg warner manual transfer case that would fit right in with front/rear drive shafts and a shifter.
I also was looking for tail gate glass thing version but gave up and picked up the barn door 97. Now want to look for the tail gate thing again.
