4 Wd To 2wd In 3 Weekends
 

This Is The 1st 69-72 Blazer I Have Ever Owned And A 2wd Is Impossible To Find @ A Reasonalbe Price So I Bought A 4wd In Good Shape And Converted Over. The Only Thing I Did Was Suspension Work And Change Engine To A Later Model 5.3 Litre The Rest Of The Blazer Was In Great Shape. My Dad And I Worked On This For 3 Weekends And Got The Suspension Like We Liked It. Lots Of People Thought We Were Crazy Doing That To A 4wd But To Each His Own.

What did you use on the rear suspension?

:agree: :phat:

I built a triangulated 4 link for the rear and built bag brackets for it. I used the front factory spring mounts for 2 of the 4 links and put the bag brackets on it. It is square tubing.

Looks great to me. I don't think your crazy at all - you built what you wanted and that is what it is all about!

Keep on posting updates!

Looks sweet! If I ever decide to do a 2wd Blazer that's the route I'll go.

Re: 4 Wd To 2wd In 3 Weekends
 

I don't have any pics of the rear set up yet, but here is a one pic of what it looked like before.

Looks good.

Re: 4 Wd To 2wd In 3 Weekends
 

Looks REAL Good!:metal: What size wheels and tires are those? How big of a notch in the back? It's hard to tell but is the front x-member sectioned? Sorry for all the questions.

Re: 4 Wd To 2wd In 3 Weekends
 

Nice job! Looks like your also converting to a '67 '68 front end.
Can't wait to see it done.

Looks great - more pics please.

Re: 4 Wd To 2wd In 3 Weekends
 

The back wheels are 20x10 and the front are 20x8.5. The rear tires are 265-50r20 and the front tires are 255-45r20. I did section the front crossmember 2" and the rear notch is 10". I just put the 67-68 front fender on it to check the stance. The 72 front clip is already painted and ready to be put on.

Can someone please tell me which electric fan would best fit my original radiator and still keep the new 5.3 engine cool.

Here is a tread on how to use one with a stock shroud, even tough with the custom look that you are going for, the ones Wes is selling may look more at home in your engine compartment.

I like those wheels. What size and what are they?? I have a black 67 swb and they would look nice on it.

Re: 4 Wd To 2wd In 3 Weekends
 

This is why I have been scolding you guys cutting up factory 2wd!!! His 4X4 looks great and with the bags and 4-link no one will ever know. If you just static then no sweat use the 2wd, but if you plan to go full fabbed rear, why not just use a 4X4 and leave the 2wd out there for the rest of us. BTW excellent work and thanks for helping to prove a convert is just as nice as a hacked up original 2wd.

Re: 4 Wd To 2wd In 3 Weekends
 

Sweet ride you have built in a very short time..

Re: 4 Wd To 2wd In 3 Weekends
 

yeah but if you have a factory 2wd why not cut it up if thats what you want.
And who are you to scold someone for what they do to their truck anyway?

Re: 4 Wd To 2wd In 3 Weekends
 

I say use what you got.
