Author Topic: 4x4 to 2wd BlowN67 ¯ Member # 4229 posted                              is it hard to make a 4x4 chassis to 2wd? -------------------- AIM gonein67 JOHN * californiafords.com * corral.net * foureyedpride.com * yellowbullet.com * theturboforums.com Posts: 9809 | From: Home of LARD | Registered: Mar 2004  |  : 89bluenotch ¯ Member # 7454 posted                              i have turned a lot of 2wd's into 4x4's, and every time there was a kit that was already fabricated or you would have to fabricate some parts yourself. i would say yah its easy but then again it all depends on year make and model of the vehicle and if its been done before?...just like any project it has to be worth your time! good luck! -------------------- -Gunnar 89 coupe 54 f100 R.I.P.

For years now, I considered building an old 69 Bronco into something like that. I say go for it!

My scout measures in at 100 even. i think the bronco2 will be better an just move the wheel well openings forward to make it work. basically the scout has wheel wells the lenght from right behind the door all the way back to taillight, so it would be just sectioning it really. What u guys think thanx -------------------- AIM gonein67 JOHN * californiafords.com * corral.net * foureyedpride.com * yellowbullet.com * theturboforums.com Posts: 9809 | From: Home of LARD | Registered: Mar 2004  |  : Bronco Man ¯ Member # 8401 posted                                 I'm sorry I'm a diehard EARLY BRONCO fan and doing that to a scout would ruine the value even though it does look very cool. Those old ones are worth alot of money, and as far as the Broncos are concerned depending on the condition, the skys the limit for price. I own 2 early Broncos and the 73" is all stock and uncut. The 77"is raised 33's,31 spline detroit locker in back front is open 44 (still deciding) 302 with 350hp,runs like a bat out of hell and I can't keep the kids out of it. Even with the rust it will fetch around 20k, with the 73"fetching around 25k. Think it over, I just don't want you to be sorry in the end, they're great wheelers. -------------------- Hillars4xLube.com Contact me anytime for questions... 510-857-7282 Posts: 98 | From: Fremont | Registered: May 2008  |  : Luke87GT Lay'n more stripes than Caltrans Member # 21 posted                              WHAT ABOUT THE 67???
