saw a 2wd that had been converted to 4wd - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**JIMs70GMC** · 02-01-2004, 02:13 PM

Took a road trip and saw this sitting for sell on the side of the road. I believe it's a 71 converter to 4wd. Front spring hangers were bolted on, and a massive bracket was made for the front of the rear springs. The rear spring shackle looks like it was a bolt on from a leaf spring truck. Could see where the 2wd steering gear was as well as the front suspension. It looked very nice, I wrote down the number but there was no price.

I like the front bumper as it would make a convienient place to keep your bazooka.

Nice looking truck.

I got me one of those in my Blazer, not sure what year it came out of, but the Tach was rebuilt the week before I bought it. It sure is nice to have a Factory Tach.

Nice looking Truck, for some reason I like that ghetto-bumper.

That bumper ain't going no where either, if I recall correctly it was welded to the frame!

I have to wonder how a 4x4 with leafs in the front and coils in the rear would really handle. . . . .
