74 K10 axles, 350th/np203 tranfer with Nash part time kit, on 59 frame and springs. 74 4 bolt 355 engine w/ unknown cam, Edlebrock intake Qjet carb. Bought the truck in 76 as a 6 cyl 3 speed, conversion to 4wd in 1985 with a 283 engine, drove it as DD for 15 years as work truck, hunting, fishing, 4 wheeling. This time upgraded the brakes, steering, interior, added AC and took all the rust out. Should be drivable by end of summer. Build thread has a LOT more detail, pack a lunch.

Re: Any 47-59 4x4's?
Napco only ran up to 56 for chevs, from then on it was factory installed parts, I've heard it was napco that supplied them. And mods to a true napco or factory 4x4, not smart, that kills the value big time. No one wants a slammed and bagged napco. :devil:

I didn't work on me 52 GMC but I did some measuring and planning on my 72. I found out where the title is so I can use the frame for my Cummins project. It looks to be a pretty easy to fit the dodge running gear.
I just cant help it once I get 90% of one project figured out I start measuring on the next:lol: |

Re: Any 47-59 4x4's?
Hi all,
Sorry to crash your party, But this thread made me want to add mine. I have lurked for a little while but I have to introduce myself. I love these old trucks on 4x4 frames. And i love the site! I bought my truck in high school, 25+ years ago, and promptly swapped over to a 77 blazer chassis, which allowed me to use the power steering, power disc brakes, rear mounted gas tank, I'm currently running 31 x 10.50 x 15. I have had multiple engines in her from a caddy 500 to a '76 chevy 350 to now a '87 305 with holley thottle body kit, never had nice paint job, but she looked good for a driver. she has been sitting for the past 8 years, but she has been put back on the road again. woo hoo! she has commercial tags so that means a full inspection here in jersey. but no issues. It is so cool to be drivung her again! http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/...-31-52_210.jpg |
Re: Any 47-59 4x4's?
Great looking truck kingmike. My body has never had a nice paint job either. I love driving her too much to take her down

Here is my 2 1/2 ton 49 chevy that i am making 4x4. currently it has 3/4 ton chevy axles under it from a 79 chevy and has 16.5 rims. when it is all said and done i will have 37'' military tires on it. I still have to build a flatbed for it and find 2 old whiskey barrels that i can put behind each cab corner on the flatbed
