Hey man I’m looking to do the same swap. Did you have a 10 bolt Dana 80 and swap to a 14? If so is the OEM driveshaft compatible or what needed to change?
@MikePittsVlogs5 күн бұрын
@@user-qy4ko6ic1x it did have a Dana 80 and yes if I remember correctly they are compatible. It all depends on the Yoke size but I’m pretty sure I’ve connected the drive shaft to the 14 bolt

Mike, I’m late to the game. Where/how did you source your stock manifold down tubes and O2 bungs?

@@timmysmith6153 I actually built those in this video using a header kit from Autozone, some 02 bungs and some steel plate, but unfortunately the stock manifolds would not fit in my truck so I ultimately had to go with the speed engineering stainless headers for a c10 truck.

Good day, I have a 77 GMC camper special 2wd, my plan is to make this a 4wd. From my research on KZbin it seems that most people do the conversions by doing tons of fabrication and frame modifications. My question is this, why do people not do body swaps instead? With swapping the body on a 4x4 chassis a person only needs to modify the trans tunnel in the cab (or install a 2 inch body lift). Am I wrong with my thought process?
@MikePittsVlogs Жыл бұрын
That would be correct; however, finding a reasonably priced 4wd crew cab square body when I was looking wasn’t working out so I decided I buy a 2wd with a decent cab and do the conversion.

Planning on making my own kit, was wondering if you could help me out. On the front hanger mount; how far is the hole dropped down from the frame? On the rear hanger frame mount; how far is the center of the hole from the frame? And lastly; how long are your shackles and what "lift" are the leafs you're using? Appears you have around 8-9 inches of lift.
