Re: 4x4 conversion

It's not that hard to put a front axle under one.other than finding the parts,probably the biggest thing is You'll have to fill the ebrake cable holes in the frame so the rear spring mount can be bolted up. There's plenty of people on here who have done it. Is your truck a leaf spring rear suspension? I assume it is being it's a GMC. A square body will get you a front axle, transmission,transfer case etc, but I'd try to find 67-72 leaf spring mounts for the the front springs. It's a bunch of work either way you do it. A 4x4 frame is definitely preferable but there are other options.
