post your 67-72 4x4

[1quik70]

285/70-17 I do believe. They measure out to 33.4x11.5x17. The truck has no lift, and it fills the fender wells just enough.

looks sharp, I want it

Here is the pic of the bumper

What would it take to make my 67 chevy c10 lwb a 4x4? I really just want one vehicle in my name but if I have to I would buy a 67-72 chevy 4x4 later down the road. Can't go wrong with 2 trucks?

[obijuan]

frame swap or all associated brackets swap. high hump trans tunnel and an axle and transfer case.

It's not too hard if your truck is optioned with rear leaf springs.

Just some minor mods to the emergency brake cable frame bosses are needed as they are right where the shackle mount brackets need to go on the 4x4 trucks. The rest of the 4x4 conversion parts pretty much bolt right on once you drill out the rivets holding everything on.

Getting a 4x4 parts truck cheap is pretty easy but for just a little more money you can find complete driving 4x4 trucks instead that won't require all the work to convert them over. Unless your 2wd truck is really nice or you are on a very tight budget I would just look for a factory 4x4 to start with and save yourself a bunch of time & labor.

Plus if your 67 doesn't have power steering then there will be more frame mods in that area to make that change as well.

Quite a bit of work, most with any mech skill could pull it off pretty easily, if yours is nice I would look for another that you like that is all setup already then no down time.

dang. I rather just buy one factory made haha.

i wonder how old you are...in my project days, my property has been littered with parts trucks, and probably close to 5 or 6 moving vehicles at any given time...sounds like a young guy to me, nothing wrong with that...just saying...give yourself a couple of years building, and you'll see what i mean.

How old I am, 51 in a couple of days, but major young at heart, work out a lot too. Been building cars for myself since 13 and everybody else since about 20, so way to many years in hotrodding everything in front of me. Don't have room in my yard for other projects, just all my buddys builds. Fun every day though with speed equipment.

[mud.man.rj]

Haha, did you mean 50bomb, prob, see too old to know.

Easy there cowboy. I am 28yrs old and I have had my share of trucks and cars and I do know what it takes to build them. I am no pro but I have alot of help around me. I was just curious to know what it took. My truck is not pretty but Its mine and I will keep this truck as long as I am alive. If i could have one more vehicle I would love a 1960-72 chevy k10-k20 later down the road. I don't want to be a hoarder either. I like my house clean thank you

[mud.man.rj]

Now that I just finished my K15 this last week I kind of want to lower a C10 in the weeds, the trucks are so cool and nice to have both worlds.

no disrespect intended bud...just sounded young...i'm not too much older, and i'm no hoarder by any means, but when you get your heart set on building something, and realize parts trucks are the alternative to trying to hunt and peck for parts in lots or online stores...I said i wouldn't be like my father...who is a hoarder of vehicles, so after i get my use out of the vehicles, i'll sell them or send them to a junk yard

[50bomb]

I hear ya. Actually it seems I am always trying to save the "Parts" vehicles and trying to build them as drivers. That is what I am doing to my truck I have now and I finally got it to run since I have owned it for 2 years. Now its the little things from here to get it roadworthy. But back to the MAIN topic. More pictures of your 4x4's haha

[RINC]

Man my truck was fugly when I bought it.


Wait ...... its still fugly !

Wow those are awesome! I really like that 68, and the gold 69-70 is pretty nice too.

[Mr-Jack]

i want that extended cab dually bad...you have any input on where to start with something like that blazerman?

[mud.man.rj]

That extended cab dually sits so high too, nice truck.

[in deep 72]

72 Blazer (yea, I know, wrong grill) 468 BB, 350/205, 14 bolt rear, broken Dana 44 HD front (Dana 60 coming soon), 39.5x19.5 Boggers. Repainted it silver last weekend with a cowl hood and tube doors, will have to get some new pics.

Not a fan of the flairs. Going to make a set, hopefully out of carbon fiber that resemble the Bushwhacker cutouts next winter.

[mud.man.rj]

Like the truck and engine combo, especially the grill, cool truck, go muddin much.
