    An other new truck. Truck #2. More is better.

    At today's gas prices 4WD are cheaper to buy.

    Trade in the 2WD.

    I had to clearly explain "txarkitekt" post.

    yup, a new 07 silverado. BTW, it dosen't have the z71 package or anything. It just a regular 4 door LT tx edition.

    LOL, just kidding. You will need a new front suspension, new front axle, transfer case, a front driveshaft, a new rear drive shaft, a new wiring harness up front, a new TCM from a NNBS truck, other miscellaneous suspension bracing, dashboard 4WD switches, etc.

    Pretty much NOT worth it. Tell him to sell it and get a 4WD truck.

    you need a 4wd frame and just do a cab swap...its way way to much to do a conversion...you are looking at a torsion bar setup to a coil spring setup...diff everything up front
    2006 silverado SS....Clifford Jr...turbo coming soon
    1970 Chevelle ly6 swap....d1 coming soon
