63 Chevy SWB converting to 4x4

[wyomech]

Just starting this build thread so other guys can help with ideas, or get ideas for their own trucks.I traded for this truck last summer and also purchased a 87 chevy suburban that was wrecked in the frontend.I am doing this on a tight budget for now so I am trying to use as many parts off the donor as possible.I started in october by removing the rear end and replaced it with the one from the suburban so I had to cut off the spring perches and build some that were angled to fit below the trailing arms.At that point I got sick went to the doctor and ended up having stomach and intestine surgery so everything got put on hold for about 3 months.Now that the weather is warming up and I am feeling better I'm trying to get going on this project again I haven't taken many pictures but will try to get more as I go.
