Re: 2wd to 4wd conversion 71 chevy cheyenne

Hey Gene, I'm going to go with the 4x4 frame and mount a set from a later truck. I'm going with 3/4ton axles anyway, so I'm going to put the heavy springs in the rear. I figure I'm going to build it with the diffs so I might as well have the springs. I appreciate the offer and maybe sometime I'll be able to extend one to you!!

Not a problem, i've had parts paid forward to me several times, just trying to give some back. The frame option is a better way IMHO anyways. Good luck!
