2WD to 4WD

Post by granitestate68 »

Hey guys, just want to make sure before I go spending good money on something that won't work. Will my 68 Custom Sport LWB Body and bed fit on this. I have always wanted to make mine 4WD and this truck is only about 25 min. away from me.

Thanks

Sure did. :D On my way over there sometime today to check them out. I'll post back when I get the low down. I talked to the guy yesterday and asked if the others were for sale and he said he wasn't advertising but he'ld be glad to talk about them. :clap:

73 and later the wheelbase is 2 inches longer which you will end up with as a bigger gap between the bed and cab or a rear wheel that is not centered in the opening. Other than that it is pretty much a bolt up on the F-250 4x4 frame I think.
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.
