Hello, I am a new member but have been searching and reading post about different subjects for several years. I currently have a project truck I bought about a year and a half ago and I am finally ready to get started with it. I have already have a donor vehicle 1993 Suburban 2WD 454/4L80 that I’m planning on swapping into my project truck.

My project truck is a 1980 Chevrolet K30 Custom Deluxe dually (basic-no A/C, no extra’s at all) Ex-Fire/Rescue truck.

350 engine (w/ busted head and piston, dropped valve)

400 Transmission

NP205 (figure 8)

Dana 60

Corporate 14 FF

4.56 gears

131.5” WB (or close)

35,000 miles

No rust on body or frame and in overall good shape considering it worked on a farm it’s last 15 years.

Lots of questions to come later on the swap. Mostly ecm/harness questions

My donor vehicle is a 1993 C2500 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado Pkg.

454 TBI

4L80

Corporate 14 Bolt FF

3.73 gears

160,000 miles

ECM #16147060 for future reference.

It runs and drives very good, just the body is rusted out from being around the beach. Such a shame.

OBS Burbs are like square body Burbs; pretty bulletproof mechanically, but they do fall prey to the dreaded Tin Worm.....
