I get the feeling this is a big challenge for you. Unless you're a big DIYer that's comfortable wrenching on drivetrains and into customizing vintage bikes, It's really not going to be worth it. You can easily find a newer used bike with the features you want for less than it would cost to convert the Suburban.
