Title: 1978 2wheel to 4wheel drive questions
Post by: mikepatterson63080 on February 15, 2004, 08:18:00 pm

I want to convert my 78 1/2ton short box to a 4x4. I have dana 60 front corp 14 rear is the 2wheel frame the same as the 4 wheel and if so are all the holes pre drilled in the frame? Thanks for any help you can give.

The frames are basically the same, but you will need everthing that bolts to the frame to make a 4x4.  The rear spring hangers are different, and as you know, the front needs spring hangers.  All of the holes are not predrilled.  You will have to locate alot of them.  My opinion it would be easier just to get a 4x4 frame and swap everthing over.
