    this forum is a ghost town lately.

    I spend a lot of my time working on my many projects but I bounce around on my projects a lot hard to follow I guess. with the lack of interest I don't post much anymore.

    Crew cab, short bed, half ton, 4wd project idea. Input requested.

    basic answer yes you will need the engine cross member and front spring hanger brackets as well as the rear shackle mounts for the springs. 4x4 transmission and t case and cross member. it would be best to find 81 to 87 4x4 donor the frames are different on a 80 and older. if you get a...

    Crew cab, short bed, half ton, 4wd project idea. Input requested.

    the c 20 crew cabs used he same frames as the c30 1 tons. if you can find a 4x4 it will be the easiest way but if not converting the c20 to 4x4 is the next best thing to do. a lot better than cutting and splice the 2 different frames. it a lot of work but it is not really that hard. its all a...

    Crew cab, short bed, half ton, 4wd project idea. Input requested.

    bad idea to cut and splice the two different frames. the crew cab as a thicker frame and a taller frame under the cab. bad idea in my opinion. strip the frames down swap the 4x4 engine cross member and spring hangers onto the crew frame. if you have the ability to splice the frames then...
