I have a 67 C-20 (2WD) that I want to convert to 4x4. I local yard has a frame but they want $500. I was hoping there was a cheaper way. I have all new axles and suspension. Another question is...are the frames even any different? transfer case crossmember? Any help would be appreciated.

I think there is a thread with this same topic, it was about 2 weeks ago. Not sure if it was the same year as yours though. Do a search on 4x4 conversion.

Your best bet is to find another frame. If the local yard wants $500, you need to find another yard..or buy a complete truck. The frames are different, rear will have leaf springs and the frame rises higher in front of the firewall on a 4wd.

Coil sprung frames are different than leaf sprung frames. I know the 63 2wd and 4wd's are way different. I'm sure you'll need the 4wd frame,
