Hypothetical questions

[abebummy26]

Ok I'm thinking about buying a 68 chevy around the corner from me its a pretty decent truck. Not much rust for a local truck. Cab corners and rockers is all it needs. That I can See its a c30 drw 133" wheelbase. I would want to up date the brakes and stuff like that. Front Drums aren't safe in my opinion. Eventually I would want to turn it into a 4x4.

From what I have read/researched, I could Just swap over to a 4x4 front axle. With a diy4x fgb52 right? and hook up brakes to that and not run a transfer case for a while right? It would be easier to do it this way, because I wouldn't have to find a donor 1 ton to swap over the 2wd stuff. At the same time I would swap over the rear from the same set as the front. I don't need obnoxiously low gears. I realize I wouldn't have 4x4 power but I wouldn't be doing a bunch of parts hunting 2x either.

The truck itself is pretty desireable in my opinion. It has a 327,Low miles, not beat to crap, only 3 owners. I would probably end up making it a srw k30. complete with a dana 60 and hydro boost one day. Hopefully hydro boost sooner than later.
