2wd To 4wd! YAY! :)
 

While all you folks are at work and on here, etc. I've been slowly converting my D250 to a W250, after being at Butte High all day then work haha. I still have to get the front axle, leafs, purches, and NP 205 tomorrow. My friend's dad owns a junk yard so im gettin all of that for $400 and its all in good shape. If the pics work, here's one of my 1st gens, "Kelsey." I also gutted the interior to make way for new carpet, seats, center console, and other misc. :choochoo: (crappy cell pics tho)

I got the axle, T-case, yesterday and i got my steering stuff today after school. I checked out the axle and T-case in auto and they look almost new inside. 3 different trucks for good parts, 1 that had a 12 valve in it, other one was a 3/4 ton with a 360 that is cut in 1/2, and for the pitman arm and all that jazz a 1/2 ton with a 318 . Sum time next week if not this weekend after work im gonna finish my job on getin the purches. i just have one bolt left but ran out of strength and determination to torch the shock so the spring and axle drop lower. haha But im using 1 ton springs out of the truck that had a 12 valve in it. The truck was a mine truck and beat pritty bad even frame wise or yes i would have just took the frame and running gear. so anyways thats wats new.

She's comming along nicely can't wait to see your truck finished.:c:

good news....almost got the front 2wd suspention out, frames are the same. Bad news, frames aren't pre-drilled for 4wd. Cant get the ball joints to break free.:argh: Im about ready for the torch haha. But new day @ school tomorrow and more work to be done on it in Auto.

Not too much progress since Ive been sick but i got the 2wd stuff out finally, darn ball joints. But anyways now its time to get the plasma cutter and cut, weld, and re-box the crossmember. OH Boy:booo: haha anyways here's a pic from my cell phone.

Well i got the front of the leafs mounted and cross-member cut away for the diff. Workin on boxing it in to make it stronger. Had to cut out 2 rivets on the front core support cross-member where the mounts are on a 4wd version. Everything is square and not out of whack. :U: The pic with the jack stands is where it sits now in Auto, the one with the floor jack was just a mock up. Have to cut hole in the frame for the shackle bushings then bolt it all together and steering. Get hubs and I can move it again! Then she goes on the lift to put the Tcase and drive shafts in. Also have a 4" lift on the way. And to everyone who thought it wasn't possible (my mom) I solute you! > :moon: haha

UPDATE 10-22
 

Got the axle in. Now just brakes and steering and she can go onto the lift to put in the T-case. :U:

thats alot of work:argh:, but it looks good
