95 ext cab,short bed

[Steve and Jayne]

I was curious about some things, I have recently accuired a 95 short bed ext. cab pickup, body is pretty much trashed a a tree fell on the cab, my question is can I use a newer cab (3rd door) on this one as long as the rest of the body is the same, or even a Suburban body? I was just curious as Full size pickup trucks are new to me and I havent been to Borders to secure books for this project yet.

what are you talking newer, 97 and 98 ext cabs had the option for a 3rd door, cab is the same regardless from 88-98 1/2 tons. 93-99 3/4 and 1 ton, obs cabs the same. 99up nbs cabs will not work on this frame.

suburban frame is different the body would not work without modifications to the frame.

Ken,
Yeah the burbon was a far fetched idea but still an Idea. 3rd door may be doable but for resto. probably go with same year give or take. Thanks for the info tho does give me some ideas. I'll keep posted o nthe resto in the proper section,
