Re: 2wd swap
Rotor fits in the wheel center. Was really concerned they wouldn't.
But the rotor got swallowed up in a 20" wheel.

Re: 2wd swap
11.9 according to the order. Powerstop rotors. Seems like enough room for a pad swap with out taking the wheels off. Ha !

Re: 2wd swap
Ahh.... Replacement C10 size. I though you might have upsized.

Re: 2wd swap
Yes. Original plan was 18 inch wheels.
But they backordered til end of August so got the 20's and the rotor looks silly in there

Re: 2wd swap
Bag plate questions.
Bolt bag to plates then bolt the plate to crossmember? The fit seems kind of sloppy

Some plates I've seen are shorter & don't make it to the area of the curve so it just depends on the plates. Either works. I get the plates bolted in place on the outside perimeter of the x-member. Then get the lower arm w/bag bolted in place. This allows the bag to be optimally placed in the a-arm pocket/area. Then I use a template that's reference marked from the bag for the orientation of the top mounting hardware hole locations.

Re: 2wd swap
I'm thinking we're gonna cut the bag plate to fit in the spring bucket hole and weld it in.
Poke 2 holes in the top of the spring bucket for a socket with 2 studs in the air bag.

I did something similar to my 99 OBS to retain as much of the uncut OE rail strength.

Just make sure you are able to seal it up well so it doesnt build up a bunch of moisture and rust out.

My logic is if water can get in there, so can air. I stitch welded mine so I'm not worried in my Southern spot on the map but it is something to keep in mind.

Re: 2wd swap
Its stitched in and if it sees any water I'd be surprised. That's what a daily beater is for.

Re: 2wd swap
Floor is going to get hacked now. Ha
Diff is hard in to it. Axle tube is still 6 inches from the floor yet. And a looks like a driveshaft tunnel maybe required

Re: 2wd swap
Thanks, Jay had a similar reaction.
Now to un bolt the floor and raise it. Or cut the floor and quarters. I think the tubs alone are high enough but where the quarter bolts to the tub is in the way.

Re: 2wd swap
From the couple of burb threads I've watched on here, I believe you are correct (floor & quarters are the initial limitations).

Re: 2wd swap
On my 78 I raised the floor 3 inchs and there was one piece of the tunnel I had to cut out just behind the seat. Looks likes a cross brace I replaced the whole floor as was rotten in all 4 corners but made the floor removable just in case. Also with the raised floor I could run full exhaust, was too loud for me even with quiet mufflers. Hope it helps.

Re: 2wd swap
I would agree. He's doing well. Especially for being a young-gun.
