Re: 4wd to 2wd ?'s
I would love to convert my 79 to 4X4. Everyone thinks it is since it sits higher with bigger tires and new front suspension.

Re: 4wd to 2wd ?'s
I honestly dont remember where I cut mine. If you want the holes to line up I cant help you, if it dosent matter cut anywhere on the flat part of the frame. I know thats what I did, maybe 2-3" back from the cab mount was where I made my cut....

Re: 4wd to 2wd ?'s
No, I was in the middle of making a how-to for Jeff to put on 73-87.com and my computer crashed and I lost everything. There were a few I posted on here somewhere but its been so long ago I have no idea what the thread was even called.
I had lots of pics of the process, but I removed them from my camera on the the computer and lost them. After that I now copy from camera to computer and then to a backup hard drive I have before they are completely deleted from the camera.....

You definitely stole that bed for $80, I paid $500 for mine but that was delivered to kansas from texas.
