will a two-wheel drive front end fit on a FWD frame ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey.........does anyone know if a complete front two-wheel drive cross-member will fit on a four-wheel drive frame? Both frames are 1-ton crewcab dually. And also... are they different year to year ?

Thanks for your input. brad moore.

If the years are close yes you can bolt the 2wd subframe to the 4wd frame but it is involved with a bit of drilling. I have seen it done several times. BTW will that 4wd front end be for sale?

those front axles are worth a pretty penny. i just paid $800 for one.

Thanks..............

The front end is long gone. That's why he's giving the frame...because he already removed all the FWD parts.

Thanks again. brad moore.

I hope that was for a D60 then it would be a good price. A really good price. D60 is $1200 on average. If that was for a stock D44 or 10...that was high. There are several 10 front 12 rear combos for sale on various boards right now for around $600 and under. There is 3 sets on Pirate a coupe sets on Tennesseoffroad, couple on Ck5.
