I have a chance to pick up a 94 K1500 Suburban as a parts truck for my 89 K2500 ECLB.

I need some front clip and door parts, dash parts and a tach cluster. I think this all will work with no problems. The wheels are the same, So no problem there.

The question are- will the running gear work? Is the 1500 rear end and front diff the same as the 7200GVW 2500? Can the 4l60e be swapped in for the 700r4. Should I want to?

I don't want to pass this up if it works, but don't want to be stuck with a white elephant if I can't use most of the parts.

I plan on owning this truck til I die, so having a complete set of running gear will be a good investment.

Thanks
Steve
