Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
I'm all for trading parts. Let me know what you need and I'll see what I got. I have been wondering what my engine rpm's will be on the 402 with OD on the freeway. going to leave stock gears in it for now (3.08). Going to order the 4" lift for it this week.

Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
Thanks that will give a good ballpark figure. Don't have much as far as interior goes. The front suspension already sold. Thats what has been funding the build. Still have the rear 5 lug 1/2 ton axle for 73+.

Re: 67 swb 2wd to 4wd conversion
You seem to be flying right along on this project. I noticed you sterched the blazer frame, did you plate over the cut section of frame on the inside and outside?
