OK so I want a 2wd I have looked over info on converting it

It seems that every bodys consensus is to just trade or buy a 2wd frame

Ok sure ,but where can I find one

seems like they are petty hard to find

any local ones you know of

or any one want a 4wd for 2wd

Thanks LT

Finding a 2wd frame is harder than finding a 2wd truck. That's why so many are converting.

Where are you located in Washington? I believe that JohnboyMX has a frame he has mentioned wanting to sell in Kent.

I live in kingston just across the big puddle

Depends on how LOW you want to go. You can get ALOT lower with a 4wd
frame converted into a 2wd. I chose to find a 2wd frame to do my swap. It
all depends on what you want in the end, and if you plan on selling it later.
(The completed's on Evil Bay don't sell quite as high if they are converted)

I've been toying with the idea of converting bouncytruck too. Since I want a bagged truck, it doesn't matter to me if it is factory 2wd or converted.

I have 2 of them. One is a factory 72 2wd rolling frame, the other is a 71 4x4 rolling frame that has been converted. The converted one is still 6 lug in the back but 5 lug disc in the front. I also have a complete runner driver that I am selling. http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/car/589461428.html

[bouncytruck]

Do I get commission if he buys it?

[Mtnman]

So if i understand a 4wd converted frame can go lower?

why is this

And I will pm ya about the frames with my phone so we can chat about it


Thanks bouncytruck LUV2XCLR8 and for the help

If you decide to go ahead and convert yours and have any questions feel free to ask.
I have converted over a dozen throughout the years and currently have 4 converted ones in the yard and two more awaiting conversion.

Here's an article that (sort of) explains how to convert from 4wd to 2wd.
