Re: Difference Between 2x4 and 4x4 Frames-
I am going to be doing this swap soon with a crew cab. It has a one ton dimension frame(taller and thicker steel than a standard 1/2 or3/4 ton frame even though it is a C-20. I have a 4x4 frame to rob all the crossmembers off of as well as the steering box and motor mounts and such. The main thing is keep good measurements for mounting the front spring rear trunions in and you will need to remove your rear spring hangers and use the ones off of a 4x4 in the rear. Has anyone done a swap like the one I am doing? What did you do about the taller frame? Hey Taz if you run into a snag let me know and maybe I can help out. They say two heads are better than one. I am going to be doing this swap starting real soon. I have converted several two wheel drives to four wheel but usually started with a four wheel frame. Merry Christmas
