My sister has a 86 2wd chev 1/2 ton with a 305 and turbo 350 tranny. She doesn't ever drive it anymore and i could get it real cheap... maybe free. It has a decent body and runs alright... the rear end howls like a wolf.
I also have all the parts from my project truck which i have decided isn't worth finishing right now. It's a 1967 chev short box. I have 8" lift springs for it, Dana 60 from and a 14 bolt rear with a loc-right. I also have a NP205 and muncie four speed for it. All the parts are rebuilt and in almost new condition. I have been trying to finish the truck for almost 9 years now, and it seems like once it is done, i would never drive it and actually put that dana 60 to work.
So what i want to do... is put all the goodies into the 2wd and have a decent 4X, that i don't have to worry about scratching.
Has anyone done this type of conversion?? What does everyone think is envolved with this...? And should i do it... I need a truck to drive for the winter, so rather than get a beater again.... i figure this would be a worthy swap.
Also... can a standard NP205 be attached to a auto tranny... turbo 350 ect... probably not the 2wd version, but if i got a different one???
Help please...:welder
