Great score.
I have a '67 K/10 Suburban I want to resurrect. I put it up in '98 after an engine fire.
I intend on a '69 or later Dana 44 that will give me P/S + P/B.
An earlier attempt at putting a P/S gearbox off a '69 C/10 was a goatf#$%. Totally screwed up the turning radius and steering geometry. Went back to the cracked-case manual gearbox and it was still AFU.
Then there's the brakes -- can you say Fred Flintstone? It was almost a case of Select Alternate Target for collision.
Disc brakes will be a much needed improvement.
