Default Re: 3/4 ton 2wd to 4x4 swap

awesome 1972redneck, that's actually a pretty good point about flipping the rear I'll have to see where the ride height ends up because at this point I'm not certain.

I'd like to find period correct wheels of some kind. Something deep from the 60's/70's/80's in 16"

The way I look at it is I have 8 other vehicles to make comfy, this is an old truck so ride is not my concern in this one. I just need something 4x4 and I'm invested in this truck.

I'm thinking I'll buy a tubular universal crossmember and weld that in to support the motor (as the factory one unbolts and is attached to the front suspension) and then weld up perches or box wherever I need to add the leafs.

Awesome funky61, I appreciate it! For some reason all that was coming up in my searches were chassis swaps.
