Re: Those who have converted to 4x4 input needed.

Would it be easier to lift and modify a 65 chasis or a 83 chasis? I am thinking if it happens a 454 would be in order. trans t-case, would rely on info on this board to decide that. If I look it over in person and decide to do it(if i can get a title for it) then I don't think I can let the offer slip by. If I go with the 83 chasis I could sell the 65 chasis and recoup a lil cash. Kinda wish it were a shortbox but everything else I own is a long box so I guess it would fit in. If mounting a body on another frame just takes time, patince, trial and error and a lil bit of knowledge I am sure I can do that part no prob, I can weld fine. Its the little but very important things like brakes, linkages of every sort and everyones favorite wiring, that worries me. Alot of things to make work together.
