1988-1999 chevy truck 4wd to 2wd is it possible?
 

hi i know that the 73-87 body styles are pretty simple to swap from 4wd to 2wd. i was thinking of getting a 1996 chevy 2 dr tahoe 4wd and converting it to a 2dr tahoe 2wd. the 4wd's are way cheaper but i want a bagged 2dr tahoe 2wd. the 2dr tahoe 2wd's are almost 4 times the price. any help would be awesome!:devil:

Is that Northridge CA? Cuz out here you can't find a 4X4 for sale onless they want an arm and a leg for it.

yeah Northridge, Ca. Everyone here wants to customize or bag it so they always skyrocket for demand.:waah:

to do it... you will have to clip the truck. It is not a bolt on deal. if it were me... find a 2wd frame out of a wrecking yard or get a whole 2wd truck. Those damn trucks are a dime a dozen right now.

Yeah for some reason(probably gas prices) i got on craigs list and i found a few. Sorry, there is an update on the truck though. I am looking for a 1996-1999 2 door tahoe 2wd. Not a pickup

Between the following:
2-dr. Tahoe, 4-dr. Tahoe, Suburban, Shortbed/standard cab, short bed/extended cab, longbed/standard cab, longbed/extended cab and Duallys

The frames are all different, either in rear frame rail kicks or longer frame from the cowl/firewall back.

The frames are actually 2 pieces, the cowl back and the cowl forward. The front of the frame slides on. Any 2-wd clip will work if you cut the welds on the 4-wd frame section and slide the 2-wd on.

Crawl underneath and take a close look.

thanks that is exactly the explanation i was looking for, because i did look under my last 2dr tahoe 4wd and saw that. i just wanted to verify that it's actually possible. :metal:
