Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
 

Very cool project. It should be fun with the big block and the od trans.

Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
 

I'm all for trading parts. Let me know what you need and I'll see what I got. I have been wondering what my engine rpm's will be on the 402 with OD on the freeway. going to leave stock gears in it for now (3.08). Going to order the 4" lift for it this week.

nice project... moved to 4x4 build area...

Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
 

Sorry. Didn't realize there was a special section for 4x4.

i need interior stuff for my 71, but i was thinking, i have a 4x4 swb 86 with 3/4 ton axles, that i want to convert to 2wd... just sayin. lol, maybe we can work somethin out if ya still got your 2wd stuff.

Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
 

Thanks that will give a good ballpark figure. Don't have much as far as interior goes. The front suspension already sold. Thats what has been funding the build. Still have the rear 5 lug 1/2 ton axle for 73+.

Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
 

Wow forgot how much work it was to clean a frame. But its all done painted and lookin good.

Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
 

wow it is lookin good i bet my dad wishes his frame looked that good!:lol:

Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
 

You seem to be flying right along on this project. I noticed you sterched the blazer frame, did you plate over the cut section of frame on the inside and outside?

Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
 

Great progress! Keep up the great work!
