Finally got one of the projects done. Finished converting the ol cheyenne from 2wd to 4wd. Turned out awsome! All work done by me except the final spray. Fender bottoms(all 4), rockers, corners, upper windsheild pinchweld, etc. Quite the job. Thanks to rokcrln (Kevin) for gettin' me excited about working on these ol trucks again. Followed all his build threads, that guy is AWSOME! Now I can get back on the crewcab...

Here's a pic of the crewcab...

Not sure what I had to do with it but after looking at your work I would be more than happy to take even a little credit. Thank you! Your trucks look great. Glad I could help with a little push. It is builders like you that help push me along as well.

Old school drop...2" block on the rear, coil and a half off the front with shortened bump stops. Did the same drop on the Cheyenne as well when it was 2wd. Worked well. Wheels are 15x10 Welds with P235-50r15 on the rear, 15x8 with P265-60r15 on the front. I have very few pics of the 67 digitized otherwise I would post some more.

Spanky_Pete · 06-08-2007, 05:54 PM

Looks great, did you use the same vintage truck for the 4x4 donor or newer? I'm considering doing the same swap on my '72.

And that crew cab is going to be amazing.
