    2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive

    thats basically how it went for the front of mine. I am still working on getting the rear done, waiting on the drive shaft. Also the bitter cold garage is not good for motivation. So in a few weeks ill have something for everybody.

    I think the bottom one would look good on the front window. Are you going to sell these?

    switching dana 44 hubs

    i use a combination of small flat screwdrivers to get behind the snap ring and a pick to pull it up and out of its groove. they are a pain but after you figure out a trick that works its not too bad.

    Correcting my speedo.

    That little gizmo on the left side of the first pic is used to recalibrate the speedo. around here i can go the the truck parts stores (peterbuilt) and ect and get one made. you first need to know the ratio you need. so remove the gizmo and screw your speedo cable in without the gizmo find a gps...

    Humvee 37s

    I think they have the best deals and services. Also their tires are 75% or better on the good year radials, and they do all the wheel work in house. http://www.trailworthyfab.com/

    Humvee 37s

    I will be buying a set of 5 37 humvee tires here shortly with the stock bead locks for my crew cab. the place i found has them for 149.95 tire on rim. you need to run dually axles for them to clear and look good or use some 2 inch spacers, or have them recentered. For a recentered humvee wheel...

    2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive

    possibly but the part numbers i found were not a match. so its possible but i think unlikely. and rotors are fairly inexpensive.

    2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive

    the part numbers for the front calipers are the same between the 2wd and 4wd year and model for your pickup so you could use the calipers but i am sure the rotors would be diffrent.

    2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive

    Sorry 6 lug (1/2 ton) front axle, and i am unsure if the front calipers from a 4x2 would fit on a front 4x4 axle. I will have to look at some part numbers and ect.

    2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive

    Oh, yes they did, same thing as the 6 lug axle with different hubs and brakes. I will be converting mine from 6 to 8 lug.

    2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive

    well the brackets dont bolt off. they are riveted to the frame, so that takes a while to get all the brackets off. Other than that its not bad. I am using a D44 front for now in my C30 conversion.

    2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive

    This weekend i got all the stock brackets for the front frame so i will be starting the c30 to k30 conversion here in a week or so after i get my parts truck out of the garage. I will be updating my build thread with pics shortly.

    Longitudinal mounting, also you can install a reverse rotation transmission to make the water pump face the rear bumper. musch better weight distrobution that way.
