Title: '84 burban to '79 2-door C10 front clip swap
Post by: Fodder4U on February 07, 2015, 07:49:59 pm

I have a 79 2 door C10 that has some fender, door and hood dents and a buddy has a 84 suburban that he said I could take anything on it I want. Would the front clip and doors on the burb fit on my 79 C10?

I already am taking the 350 and 700R4 out of it to put into my C10 (which has the 250ci and 350T trans) and figured if the clips interchange then why not take them both off for the engine/trans swap. The burb is immaculate on the front end.

Easy swap, you will need the newer windshield wiper mechanisms and you will have to modify the hood hinges.
