    '89 GMC 'Burb grill swap questions

    Oh, I guess one more question then, what about an 1987 pickup to 1989 suburban grille swap? Much closer years, same make? I just think the 4 bar styling of the pickup is more (Subjectively) handsome than the 'burbs. If not, no issue I guess, but thought I'd ask while you're here. I also noticed...

    '89 GMC 'Burb grill swap questions

    Good information, thanks guys. I'll probably have to do what Strick is suggesting. Otherwise I'd be getting into a pretty big project. But, you said assuming the grill is in good shape, I haven't had a great look at it, so we'll see... Thanks again

    '89 GMC 'Burb grill swap questions

    Thank you for your replay, I see. To each his own I guess! I have an 86 chevy pickup now, and I guess I've just grown to love that style. I've looked a little at aftermarket grilles for the 89 year, I guess they're a little better. BUT, you are saying its possible? I don't want to cut it up at...

    '89 GMC 'Burb grill swap questions

    I'm looking at an '89 GMC Suburban. Very clean, only issue is, I hate the late GMC grill style. So my question is, is it easy, hard or impossible with chopping and unique tools to do a 'non-invasive' (No major cutting) swap to, say, a '81 GMC grill? or an '86 Chevrolet grill? how different are...

    @GTX63 I have a wild card, he's offered to actually deliver it. So, even if I do 2K, I'd probably end up paying 3K total to cover him bringing it...

    Questions about '74 All Time 4wd, HELP

    More very good info, I'll be digging into this. @mcarlo86, I also mentioned it was PARKED for a pretty good stretch of its life. I believe all of the 80s? and some 90s? and was only recently bought and sent to Nebraska, where it is now. So I don't have the luxury of actually looking at it. What...

    Questions about '74 All Time 4wd, HELP

    I'm not following some of the technical aspects of what your saying, but I understand the concept, totally new to me. I have not been on the big blue ball for very long, I only got my drivers' license last year!

    Questions about '74 All Time 4wd, HELP

    Awesome, thanks guys! the owner says that he'd be willing to drive it to me, (No small feat, I'm 560 miles away) So I believe the real test will be if it can make the trip. If it can, this thing has to be an absolute beast...

    Another question, Does the K20 hop and jerk around corners on pavement in 4 HI like a regular 4wd? I would guess not since its safe to drive on pavement?

    Questions about '74 All Time 4wd, HELP

    Grit, I guess since I didn't really understand older All Time stuff I was wondering about practicality, (If you can even say that talking about 50 year old trucks) wear, and mileage. for history on it, the thing seems bone stock, came from Minnesota, went to Nebraska, parked most of the 80s and...

    Questions about '74 All Time 4wd, HELP

    This is awesome information! I guess I haven't looked deeply here, I don't really know how to use stuff yet. Strick, So the K20 pickups and suburban's are the same underneath? is there anything different to lookout for on the 'burbs? This one is a 350 automatic, don't know much else. fairly...

    Questions about '74 All Time 4wd, HELP

    Hey, I'm a new member and I don't know if this is the right section to post this, but hear me out. I'm currently considering the purchase of a 1974 K20 Suburban, and I have questions. I don't know much about mechanics so I need some guidance in regards to know early 'All Time' systems work, and...

    Hello, community! I've only recently gotten into Old GM and Chevy trucks, (Just bought my fist vehicle, an '86 Chevy K10) I know fairly little about mechanics but I'd like to learn. I have a soft spot for Square Body suburban's, and I've currently looking at/saving for one. For my first Post...
