     What year is your truck and the suburban ?

up to and including a 1991 Suburban front clip will work.  1500, 2500, 3500... all the same

GVW doesn't affect body panels.
81, to 91 is a dirrect bolt on swap.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

I have the front clip and doors from a 91 burb and an 86 silverado...I plan on doing the same.  Ran into a short delay...a week after I bought the truck the tranny went out.  Have a th400 to replace the th350-C, but no driveshaft yet!
