Converting this partial 4wd to 2wd..
This guy is selling this Blazer that is originally a 4wd but has a 2wd transmission in it. I'm really looking for a bagged 2wd and I'm wondering if this Blazer would be worth it economically to fully convert since the transmission has been changed. He's asking 3K so I don't know if it'd be better to just wait and pay the premium on a "real" 2wd or just get this one and work on it. Any suggestions?
Here are a couple pics: [IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() |

If you think the body is worth it, then go for it! Porterbuilt makes a whole new front suspension setup that will bolt on to the 4wd frame to make it 2wd.

Re: Converting this partial 4wd to 2wd..
If you plan to make a custom 2wd and don't care about having a factory 2wd, converting is the way to go. I would take a hard look at the body on that rig though. It seems to have a fair amount of rust and body damage. I'm not sure what the supply is in your area, but for $3K, you can probably find a tub in better condition. Converting the transmission is cheaper than fixing rust.
Here's an article on converting a 4wd to 2wd http://www.sporttruck.com/techarticl...ion/index.html

Awesome, thanks for the replies fellas. I think I'm going to wait for one in better condition. The cost to fix the body wouldn't be worth it considering the asking price.
