If I have a 4speed manual from a 67… what transfer or what do I need transmission wise… already got my hands on a Dana 44 for the front …

Do you ever use a plasma cutter? That's my best friend when doing projects like this

I have a 1969 Chevy 4x4 3/4 ton. It came stock with the 2 piece rear drive shaft. Transfer case was the Rockwell and rear end is the HO72. It also had 1 inch lift blocks, overload springs and a Detroit locker in the rear end. Stock engine was 307 and transmission is 4 speed manual. Now the truck has a 454, still 4 speed and now np205 transfer case. And front disc brakes.

Man, I wish I could drop the mic like that. This guy is the coolest...

Looking good

I remember doing at the first time

It's an older Turbo 400 or. Three seventy five

And years before that I switched my truck over to Leaf springs

I know, i've already done that style project I've changed Mine over 12 years ago. I use donor parts out of a blazer.

First you got the halfass old style take Dickey’s and twit the bottom of it, I don’t use them but other have for years

I like my quick racket set up to 7 inches, got them many years ago and they still are great

Hellwig Frame FX is 1968 -1972 A body is a very nice frame boxing kit and looks very similar to the el camino style frame

Try Bliar spot weld cutters

One more comment that might save some dude alot of heart-ache is do NOT use anything "poly" it is the most unforgiving shit on the market. Back in the day I needed to put new body cab mounts on a '71 4x4 I believe, we installed them and come to find out NOTHING and I mean NOTHING lined up, doors would not fit to close etc. When we did get everything aligned and took it out I couldn't even drive it more than 40 mph and a couple of miles on the test drive it was so damn rough. I believe they were Energy Suspension and I reordered a set from LMC that were factory rubber. Put the new mounts in and it was a new truck.----- Just say'in. I try to help these dudes that look at KZbin before they start a build. I also get alot of calls for advice which is fine too. Cudo's for all your work on your build though !!!!!! Jim

Please (and I am not trying to be a smart-ass) tell me one good reason why in god's name would you do a "conversion" ??? I just retired after buying, selling, and doing just under 400 of these '67-'72 Chevy/GMC 4x4 trucks since 1979. I bet I bought 30-40 junk bodies on real good Midwest 4x4 frames. Pop out the VIN plate and to do it and be honest you have to list it as a rebuilt truck on the new title issued at the treasure's office at the court house. That's the only hassle in the whole process. You're hours in a conversion would be ten times the hours in a body switch !!!------Just say'in bud!!!! Jim

Art Morrison makes an awesome frame.

From now on never see instruction video how you use it

Mr. Brito, you recommended the Wiseco brand. I see the ARP brand has a lip at the bottom. I could imagine having a lip will allow the rings jump from the tool to the cylinder smoothly. Having a lip would allow the tool sit into the bore without moving around. I am debating which to buy. ARP more expensive. Good idea to have lip? Your comment is appreciated.

I got a 1972 4 wheel drive long bed.and I got a 1972 long horn 3500. I want to put the front axle and drivetrain under this 2 wheel drive truck.will it work from one truck to the other? I thank you for any information that would be great thank you..

Just FYI (a little late) for others who watch. The "broken" bolts on either end of the exhaust manifold are not broken off. They are just studs and help hold position when installing manifolds. Supposedly allow for expansion and contraction. Every Chevy 6 I have had are like that and they are shown in the Factory Service Manual. Well done videos. Some helpful techniques. Thanks

How much to install this kit?

Sold. I just tried to use the first option 3 times and gave up. Ordered a wiseco.

Great video but this guys voice..... straight ZOMBIE 🧟‍♂️

🙌🙌

SS frames weren't boxed ..convertibles were thou ... cheers , nice video

you make good progress, i touch my truck once every 3-4 years. What are your thoughts on the strength of these old frames?

Nice work

Hey man by chance would you know where I could find a set of front leaf hangers/core support bracket? Or a 4x4 motor cross member?

Sooo...if you are rebuilding a KZ1000?

Are you selling these brackets?

Oh the coveted tow hooks. Great video I did this also and will be Doing more

Are you selling the front leaf spring hangers?

I've bought the same kit Just getting around to getting it installed and surprisingly it does not lineup When I put the front and the back of the tube in place where it's supposed to go The 2 tubes that Weld to the side are 1" shorter I cannot see that my Frame Is bent 1" I'd love to know what the measurements of those Tubes are To compare with mine

.buy P.B.Blaster and spray a 4x4 onto your truck

I wish I saw this earlier! I went through an extra set of piston rings because I tried to use the first 2. Another crappy thing about the first two, is if you have stiff rings for a turbo/super/nitrous motor, is once you have the oil rings(thin bottom ones) in, the big compression rings will push out the compressor at the bottom and taper in the top, rendering it useless

2:09 where may I find it to buy ?

How about piston rings for scooters

Hi first thks for the video ! I just bought a 1987 g20 van do they make a bracket ilkit to convert to 4x4 the diff is a floating and it 8 lug im looking for a front axle 8 lug thks

Hi thks for the video I just bought a g20 chev van do they make a kit for a conversion re just brackets

Man I have a 78 k5 blazer 4x4 and I have no idea why you would want to do this. I hate driving my blazer cause to me it’s like very scary on curves with bumps. I really want to change mine over to 2 wheel drive.

Can you tell us the opening width of the frame. Your frame is 100 straighter than the two I have. I just going to brake bend the bottom edge to make this kit similar to Speedtech. I liked this over Speedtech since no beating in floorboard on pre 1968

Just listen to this man if you are roockie in engine rebuilts. Ask me how i know it ...

Unfortunately, they don't seem to make the non-adjustable ring compressor in the small 56mm (2-3/16") size I need.

Thanks very much great job

I've seen several SS chevelles , none of which had the convertible frame. The HD frame option was available but not standard on these cars.

Hellwig FX frame kit

Nice work. I like to do my 1970 GMC 3/4 ton. Thank you for sharing.

Hi it’s Ram I was watching your video again and I noticed when you were painting your frame I saw a gold bracket that you used to hold your Leaf spring. to the frame is that something you custom-made or something you bought and if you did buy it where did you get it from.
