I have a1972 chevy two wheel drive truck that I want to turn into a fourwheel drive truck, does anyone know what I need to do about putting leaf springs in and getting the front axel in straight thanks for the help.

I know the frames are different on the front as the four wheel drives have an "offset" for the axle travel. You may want to move this to the 67-72 specific forum and Im sure a bunch can offer advice. My advice would be to find an old cancer ridden 4X truck and recycle the frame.

If you are planing on running a lift anyway,
the frame design is not a major issue

Click advance search and fill the fields
what you are searching for is SAS, or straight axle conversion, or swap.
