Re: 2WD to 4WD Conversion
It’s really not that bad to add a front axle to a 2 wheel drive frame. You have to run a 4x4 ebrake setup, fill the e brake cable holes in the 2 wheel frame with plate. Then Drill and mount the rear spring hanger where the ebrake holes were. Then add the front hangers of your choice and mount your springs. 71-72 k10/20 front axles will have disks. You’ll need a 4x4 trans and transfer case, drive shafts. If you can find decent 4x4 frame parts you can do all of this with factory stuff. As for the coils in the rear. Some run them some don’t. It’s not “factory correct” to have coils out back on a 4x4 but as far I’m concerned it will run just fine like that at stock height. There have been several of these conversions documented on this site. Search around some and you’ll find the exact details you seek.
