Title: Can you can convert a 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive?
Post by: Toby on August 01, 2002, 01:13:00 AM
Someone was telling me I could convert my truck from 2 to 4 wheel drive.  Is that possible?  How much would it cost?  I have an 84 silverado automatic.  Thanks for any feedback

Yes...its possible....But it can be quite abit of work...I had a friend that did it within a few days though....You would have to decide whether to stay with the 2wd frame or switch it over to a 4wd frame...You basically then rip everything off your frame and use a different suspension, add a front axle, and your steering would have to be modified..Then you have to mount on a transfer case...and that should be about it in a very very short summary....I have no idea what it would cost though..
