Re: 1971 2wd to duramax tt 4x4 build thread
I love the cc build. I was going to build one myself out of this truck when I find all the parts to build the cab. I seen the 1 tone frame and decided to get one myself. I got it last night 280 miles round trip. Its all most a bare frame now. I know Im going to need to shorten it so I was thinking of doing that in the kick up part. It does two things. 1 shorten frame 2 lower rear section. Any thoughts?
Thanks |

This is how I was going to do my frame in the kickup portion, still debating. You have to drop the frame is the big idea. I plan to cut the remaining from the back portion of the frame to shorten it up and just move the spring perches. Keep me posted on the wiring. I am dreading that portion. Trevor

Trevor the Dmax wiring is not that hard. Orange all goes to batt pinks all go to key on crank. purple as usual is starter the rest is sender wires and some horse crap not really neded for stand allone. I did this before in my Blazer allready. One sugg is to use the entire harness as I did on MaxxBlaze. the hardest part was putting Diodes into the wiring graft for the ignition switch. I used the factory 72 chev switch.

This truck is up for sale as is. I dont have time to finish it. The engine is a LB7 TT Garret GT45 making 505 rwhp and 1109 rwtq It has a suncoast V with 6 speed ug Fass 150 150.. its a X273 ford tcase w kodiac shift cam and 243xhd shift encoder. 4wd works by the dash switch as it should. I have a 78 dana 60 kingpin driver drop high pinion front axle with functioning ABS. 97 or newer I forget brakes on it. 456 gears brand new front and back AAM 11.5 rear from dmax. frame is prety much done. engine mounts are done. Needs to be finisheed. Wiring I would thin out again and get rid of some of it but its all pulled out of my 12 second blazer that ran this actual setup. Tilt steering column. and I have a suburban cab w doors if you feel froggy. 405-824-8367 Text is best Ken
