Chevy guys...

[Sloth_Fratelli]

so i found the k10 of my dreams but the only problem is its a c10... are the frames for both the same? as in how hard would the swap be to 4wd?

[Super Scout]

I am pretty sure the frames are different between a 2wd and 4wd.

[BUZZINHALFDOZZEN]

Frames are different. Don't waste your time.

[88wd21]

Much easier to just start with a k10. For trucks that are so similar throughout their life there are a lot more difference between them all then the average eye can catch

[village_idiot]

4 link it and never look back...

[Super Scout]

An Old timer told me he built a 4wd Suburban from a 2wd by cut the frames and switching them. I would think strength would be compromised but who knows.

[joe_and_jeep]

Leaf spring vs IFS. It would be no different than a SAS swap. But, K10's are easy to come by.

[YZEATER]

cut out the 2wd suspension, and put it back together like a 4wd. it can be done. if the truck is in really good shape it would be worth it. you can buy all new frame mounts from diy4x or find someone scrapping a 4wd and get the brackets you need.

been a little bit, but i have a spotless 4wd K5 blazer frame id part with, might just have to move the mounts a little for a truck bed.

[highlandercj-7]

The frame rails are the same just the bracketry is different. My friend found a perfect 82' Burban with a 454 and 19k miles, so it was worth it to him to make it a 4x4. It can be done but in most cases it's not worth it.

[YZEATER]

i got a 78 3/4 ton 4wd in the driveway, waiting to get cut up. he must be off the chevy kick.

[brooks294x4]

how are the doors? might make a set of half doors

[YZEATER]

Sold the doors this morning. I got a frame,axles, engine, tranny, tcase.

^ Truggy!

[Super Scout]

What kinda axles and what ratio ?

[YZEATER]

3/4 ton = 10 bolt and 14bff. 373. I have a set with 3.42 also, They are getting cut up.
