2wd to 4wd conversion 71 chevy cheyenne

[1mitch4]

Yeah, I just can't decide how to go about doing it. I was thinking of using the 4wd frame, but we realized at the last minute it was broke into on the pass side behind the cab. Not a major deal, but enough to start weighing options. I would still have to fab rear hangers on the rear of either frame, I just wouldn't have to do a complete cab swap if I used mine. I'm thinking of sticking with my frame and going that route, using later model hangers with a set of 3/4ton springs in rear. I want a beefy suspension so to speak, but nothing crazy. I'm pretty sure the 4wd frame has 3/4ton front springs anyway. I'm baling hay all summer so this build will just be a parts gather for now until prob late july or Aug. Wish me luck!!

I have a set of rear hangers I bought for mine off a 2wd 3/4 ton GMC. They should be what you need to convert your rear to springs. I'll give them to you if you pay for the ride.
