how hard do you think it would be to take a 4wd frame and make it into a 2wd??? i have a hole front crossmember and parts truck. Just let me no what you think
-
It would be a full undertaking, but it is possible. The rear hangers for the springs are diffierent as are the trans crossmembers.
It would be easier to buy a 2WD truck.
-
or just keep the 4x4 frame and make a 4wd out of it
-
I have a whole setup, where are you at?

I feel alone over here in the desert. I don't think anyone is close. If anyone is in this area, and is hunting certain parts, let me know. 76k10, I have what you need, just don't know how to get it to you.
-
yea, you're about 500 miles from me...man it would be nice to have some members nearby for hanging out and cruises and stuff...
-
You've got that right. I am surrounded by Blue Oval guys.
-
someday after i get the GMC to where i want it (or a little closer at least) we might have to just have a meet anyhow. we got a few Texas guys on here, we might be able to organize a small 73-87 Chevy meet...have some BBQ and nice cruise...
-
Why not? I am used to driving a couple hundred miles a day anyway, as alot of Texans are. I never thought about it until a friend of mine from Virginia pointed out ( with a little aggravation in his voice) that everytime he asks one of us "Texans" how far something was, we told him hours, not miles. Seems kinda funny until I got caught in Detroit for a class, and was told the training facility was about 10 miles away. Texas translation= 15-20 minutes drive at best,, Detroit translation= leave 45 minutes before at least, and be prepared to drive past it, take the turn around, and go back to it. I didn't see a single store there that you could drive straight to ( or more than 5 cars in a row that weren't rotting out). I was glad to get back home.

lol thats one good thing about being a native texan,how big everything is, and the weather, no snow= no salted roads=very little rust, unless we're talkin about the floor of my stepside ;D I dont think im very close to any other texans here, im in east texas ::) but it would be kool to go cruisin, just cost a ton in gas!! Oh yeah as far as the frame, it would probably be easier to swap frames, or get a diff. truck
-
i live in CA and i would be down to drive my truck to Texas so i can do some burnouts for my boys that love the same trucks as me lol
-
lol i would side step the clutch in my 3/4 ton and burn some 33x12.50 mud grip rubber! ;D would be fun until something broke!!
-
lol hahahhahaha ya same here but mosly for me its u joints lol but i have a set of 36/12.50s tsl super swampers that smoke like no other lol
-
lol I havent broke a u joint yet but now my pinion seal is gone out and is slinging oil all over my chrome turndowns :( so do you have a 4x4 that you want to convert to 2x4, or whats goin on??
-
lol ya i have 2 chevy trucks ones a 77 4x4 thats been in my famly sece it was new then i have my 76 chevy 4x4 that i just hot rod everyday and now everything is braking so i wanna make it a 2wd just becuz i have the time and a lil $ to do it
-
lol if it were me I would find a 2wd frame and put your body on it!
-
iv been looking but i cant find just a rolling frame ill i can find is chevy trucks with no motor and trans
-
Buy one of those trucks with no motor/trans, pull the body, drop your body onto it, and drag the old body across the scales and walk away $200 wealthier....
