Re: 4wd to 2wd ?'s

Yes you cut in a different spot than a 67-72 but the method is basically the same. Most people prefer a z style cut for strength.

I did my truck about 8 yrs ago with a straight cut and have not had any issues with it. It is plated on the inside of the frame. I still use it like a truck and have even had it overloaded to the point the front end was light. A few weeks ago I hauled off almost 1500 lbs of scrap metal. If its done right and welded right a straight cut can be just as strong....
