I have at my disposal a 1994 K2500 Diesel (essentially all 1 tone running gear, one leaf short of 1 ton!) I can use for some parts! Been knocking around the idea of using driveline and suspension parts on the Astro. Can I do it, and still make the sliding door operate right with rims that will push the wheels back in?

Anything is possible with imagination and creativity.
There are 6.5 diesel AstroSafari Vans out there.
and Lifted vans with 1 ton axles.
Jeeze, one guy even put a FORD v8 in one ! lol...
Good Luck, and keep us posted.

ANYTHING is possible...BUT just because something CAN be done doesn't always mean that it SHOULD be done. Take measurements and see how much of the truck is of value as donor parts and what can be traded/sold to keep the project going forward.
