Re: 67 c10 2wd to 4wd

It's not a simple bolt on operation, but you can swap front spring hangers and shackle hangers onto a 2WD frame, but I would focus on getting it running and driving reliably before tackling a 4WD conversion. I drove my 70 GMC through South Dakota winters with extra weight on the bed and a decent set of tires for a few years. It's way worse to be wrenching on a truck in a snow bank because it won't run right than slipping and sliding a little bit with a 2WD.

Food for thought, if you're going to convert anyways, check out Off Road Designs and DIY4x websites for an idea of decent priced parts and front spring stuff for these trucks.
