4wd to a 2wd

[76 k10]

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

[Captkaos]

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 live in lodi CA

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.

[Fordeatinz71]

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...

[choptop]

You've got that right. I am surrounded by Blue Oval guys.

[Fordeatinz71]

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  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

[76 k10]

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

[grayharville]

lol i would side step the clutch in my 3/4 ton and burn some 33x12.50 mud grip rubber! would be fun until something broke!!

[76 k10]

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

[grayharville]

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??
