sharp eyed readers will note that the suburban had 8 lug wheels .
1500 suburbans only came with 6 lug wheels .
so this conversion probably had a conversion to the 2500 front and rear axles .
the 2500 also had a considerably larger rear differential , very large rear Drum brakes in that year . I'm guessing that is about a 1995 to 1996 model .
in any event , nice conversion .
Usually correct, but not always...
You could get a 1500 diesel. It was a de-rated motor and came with the semi-floating 14bolt rear axle (8 lug).
The 2500's diesel and 454gas came with 8 lug and a 14 bolt full-floating rear axle.
The 2500 350gas came with the 8 lug 14 bolt semi-floating axle.
Here's an example of the 1500 diesel... (I had to really look, these are getting hard to find)
1500 Diesel Suburban
The 1500 diesels came with 3.42 gears, same engine rating. The 2500s could be ordered with either 3.73 or 4.10 gears.
The Cummins conversion would be nice, but the DuraBurb conversions are awesome. They put a Duramax in and make it look factory.
