Re: 1947 Panel Truck Frame swap with ’88 k2500
I remembered to take some pictures this time. The frame ends and body mounts are tacked in place. The rear suspension is moved back. The plan is to measure everything again and bolt the rear in place. With the rear bolted in, we’ll roll it over to the alignment shop. After it’s dialed in, the rear hangers can be welded. I decided to leave the six bolt lugs for now. The 8 lug rear from the ’86 suburban is narrower between backing plates. I don’t know how the wheel mounting surface to wms compares to the ’88 6 lug. The 8 lug rear could fit with some modification. This can be done later, as now I must focus on the best use of funds to keep the project moving.
