What size are you looking for?

That thing has been on E-Bay a few times already.

But that takes all of the fun out of it. :party:

I figure I can pick those up for nothing. I see them everywhere for $500 that run but will the motor be large enough to actually move 44's and will the drive train be sufficient to start with. I just look at it as why buy it and do all of the work and have to replace it soon after if it is not...

Try this. Fairly helpful. http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/Leafspring_conversion/leafs.htm

Thanks for the info. I was looking at the pics and I cannot see how exactly he tied the subframe into the chassis? Any close ups of the attaching points.

Like a 1992

I can get a running and driving 4x4 s-10 blazer for $500 with the 4.3 but what else will I have to change in the drivetrain whereas a full size comes with fairly beefy stuff as not to need an upgrade immediately. I am open to either. I just wonder which would be the most beneficial.

I just like the look of the XJ and if this is the way to do it then here we go. The search is on for a 73-87 1/2 chevy 4x4. I intend to find a driver and rip it apart. Luckily these are readily accessible here in Arkansas - go figure. I am thinking lateral braces to tie into the body mounts so...

Found this http://www.chuckschevytruckpages.com/framespecs.html Has a good breakdown on the dimensions of the older chevrolet stuff.

What about maybe a four door blazer. I found a 1992 fairly cheap or is there a better year or stick with the 1500 box chevrolet's.

What about like a mid to early 80's Chevrolet 1/2 ton. I can pick those up fairly cheap that are runners. Take off the body and adapt mine to it. Do you think the SWB would be a good choice. Giving me a platform with motor mounts and etc.. also I can use my springs LOL. Any better routes like...

We either refer to dredging a little mud or quite possibly on a rare occasion a spray fart.

I'm definately in. Sweet office art. :P

This may be something like what I am thinking. I can see a rail from front to back. Does anyone have any more info on it. Thanks

Well if I were to build a frame under it then should I tie the bumper in there or not? Also what frame did they start out with do you know? I was not intending to put braces in those specific spots. I just put them in there for a visual. I am sure they will have to be placed in specific areas as...

Sorry if the drawing is confusing, the the top two are from above and the bottom one is from the side view. Also the top one would only be just one side .

Truthfully guys it was opening weekend of deer season so I didn't get to work on it. I am taking off next week in hopes of devoting multiple days of just jeep fab time. Another idea that I am having which may be totally off base but what I am thinking of is running a basic channel from one end...

WOW. Thank you, seriously. I will try to get the rear mocked up this weekend and I will let you all know how it turns out.

And I thank you to all the others that are actually trying to help me. Any CONSTRUCTIVE info is appreciated.
