Cool! I tuned into this build hoping to see something like this. I know Nate has been wanting to put something together for conversions for a few years now.

Looks good so far- I'm in.

You mean the trailing arms? The wheelbase was too short.

Chassis coated and drivetrain started to come togther.

I'm curious where the issue was. I've converted a 4wd w/ arms before- it was tight, but it worked. Was it that you would not be able to lay frame due to arm/frame interference?

Oh, and we need an update

The trailing arms contact the frame not allowing it to fully lay out. Leaves it about 3 inches short.

You can run original trailing arms and lay frame,just make the whole trailing arms stay inside of frame rails so it runs beside frame and doesn't go under

Re: Larry
Is there a reason the alternator is sorta stacked on the passenger side of the engine? Most folks go to great lengths to balance the look of the accessory drive. Is there more to be added to the drivers side?

That's how the Tru Trac is set up. It looks worse in this pic but from above isnt so bad.

Cool, I really like the use of Chevy orange on the engine with black accessories. Looking forward to more updates.
