Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have long wanted to keep the 6.5 in my Suburban, and have always wanted it to ride like a 1/2 ton. I've driven several k1500's and the ride is superior to mine in every way.
This lead me to an idea.
Could I purchase a used up gasser Suburban 1/2 ton, and from the springs down, axles, wheels, torsion bars, brakes and tires, switch it over to my 3/4 ton? Then adjust my speed sensor to set the odometer and go?
I'd certainly make the vehicle lighter, I could upgrade to the leather interior if I found the correct one, have a superior ride, get a set of 3.42's most likely, keep my 4L80E and 6.5 with go-fast parts. It would be a Suburban like no other. I'm thinking almost everything would bolt on. Am I incorrect?
Put all my heavy stuff on the half ton, and sell it back into the market, might not cost me much in the end?
