Are 2wd and 4wd frames the same? Just a matter of swapping over running gear?

Blue Chevy 1987 · 08-11-2010, 01:13 PM

Yea all spring hangers have to be measured and drilled an you also need the rear axle spring hanger. Best thing to do is buy a parts truck. I picked up a gutted blazer for $50 for to get everything off of then sold parts I didn't need I ended up parting out doors tired an fenders an What not an made $70 off it. Will also need a body lift to clear the transmission tunnel or cut yours out an use one out the parts truck. You also need the front body mounts that attach to the core support. You will need to remove the engine to install engine cross member. An if you want to its a good time to do crossover steering an get the engine crossmember from ord. Crossover steering uses 2wd gearbox.. I did crossover at later time but wished I had done it when I Did the conversion. I have build thread on another site. Pm me for link.

Well, another Canuck has joined the forum.

Here's my 87' Chevy Wrangler. 305 TBI, 219K Km, all original, 3rd owner(My dad, uncle, now me)
I have plans/hopes of doing a bit to this thing. Hoping to have exhaust done this year. Considering going back to a carb but haven't decided for sure.
Comments, criticism and ideas are appreciated!

Here's a bad interior pic....

hayesperformanceplus · 08-16-2010, 11:33 AM

Thats's a nice truck, and it's a loaded Wrangler with the factory leather wraped wheel option. You got a nice collector there. Very nice.

hayesperformanceplus · 08-16-2010, 11:36 AM

By the way, you'll need to adjust the tailgate up 1/4" so the stripes are dead on.... lol

Rims are going to be painted once I get access to my school(flat or gloss black?), the hood ornament is in the ash try, haven't put it back on yet cause it broke off under a bunch of snow in the winter and I'm in the middle of buffing, waxing and cleaning the paint up so it's easier with it not in the way, and keep dreaming!

I'll snap a few more shots tomorrow.

Oh, and, I'll work on that tailgate too, haha!

Thanks.
