In fact I will respect you for keeping these things out of the crusher. But how come a 4x4 can't be a hot rod or a street cruiser? I don't understand why it HAS to be a 2wd.
It's a challenge to build a truck that rides and drives great and that will put the pinch welds on the ground when aired out. There are products around now that will help you achieve this but they're still expensive and require some skill to install properly. But when done right it looks great on a square. Like Pedroski said, not many 2wd's were produced, so given the scope of the project, it's not that much more work to start with a 4x4.

I like them 2wd or 4x4 (I own one of each) so either way is fine with me. I just enjoy watching them get built to the owner's vision, whatever it is.
