The Suburban has some different body mounts. I'm working on a kit that you will have to buy separate but yes, other than that its all the same and you will be able to run on the Suburban, Cary All, or Pannel Truck bodies.

ALMOST!!!!!

I'm looking for another frame to measure bumper mounting holes. I've measured one already but I like to check 2 and average the two or three to find my locations all dialed in. But until then, pictures of the 99% completed frame!!!!

It does look awesome! Just wanted to say that I had to cut the front of my 58 frame to fit the 57 clip, that and other things Ive read suggest the 58-59 frames are longer in the front.

Yes indeed! That and because the front bumper bolting face will have different heights due to the multiple ride heights the bumper parts will be bolt on's.

Just got it all sent off to the laser yesterday. I've got some quality control books to make up so the guys cutting the parts won't miss anything but we should have a frame to weld up in 2-5 weeks. They need to poke around and see what time frames look like over there before I can get a solid time frame.

Thanks
