Re: 72 Suburban
Welcome from NJ! It's going to depend on what you want to do. If you are looking to build a lifted truck, then you could try a 73-91 Burb chassis. There is a board member here who has one he is building like that. The chassis swap is not an easy swap. You may want to look for boardmember ARBHauler's profile. He has a nice writeup on his webpage detailing a 2wd to 4wd conversion on his 72 GMC Suburaban.

Re: 72 Suburban
Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! I don't know about the 'burbs but I know a pickup cab has to be either lifted or channeled to fit on a 73+ frame.

Re: 72 Suburban
Welcome to the board from West Tennessee. If it's a Chevy and you want to swap it around you can just about bet that someone has done it or at least tried at on time or another.
