4x4 conversion
i posted this under the 67-72 board too, just trying to get some responses.
i have a 1970 C10 longbed that i want to convert to 4x4, i have the front end and all the springs, what else will i need? i was planning on swapping in a 4 speed in place of the 3 speed that i currently have and using a divorced transfer out of a dodge or international, and converting to leaf spring in the back and retaining the stock 12 bolt rear end. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

You'll need the frame brackets to mount the springs. In the rear you'll need to fab up some brackets to mount the rear springs. The easiest would be to find a 4wd frame or rolling chassis and place your 70 c10 body on it. Your 12 bolt will nee spring pads welded on. You'd probably be better off finding a tranny/tc combo then finding a good divorced tc. Also need to cut the low hump out of the cab and find a high hump that were bolted in or install a body lift to clear the tranny shifter.
