But basically, if you have a torsion bar front suspension, yeah, you should be able to swap in a trans/t-case, front axle, half shafts and wheel bearings. For a coil spring rig, I believe there's at least two companies that offer a bracket kit to mount a solid front axle.

I'm not specifically sure on the Tahoe, but I know that the earlier year C1500 (like through '03 for sure) had a completely different front frame and suspension. 2wd is coil and 4x4 is torsion bar. But in the last couple years of production, the 2 wheelers had the same basic frame as a 4x4, with...

That's a nice camper. Diamond plate up front is a good idea that I should copy. I also need other cosmetic items, lol.

Small loads, medium loads, and a heavy load from time to time as well. That's just a selection, but you get the idea. The '00 probably pulls just as well, but it was primarily my wife's DD for the longest time, so it often wasn't available to me.

I haven't really towed much with mine, just a few smaller loads. Ironically, I used the '00 to tow the '78 home when I bought it, but I've since towed most of the loads with the '78, lol.

I guess I don't have many good pictures of mine. This is about the best I have on my phone...

Looks like a lot of lift for the stock parts (besides the keys of course). I'd bet the ride is rough because you have very little suspension droop.

Hey! These look like the seats I had asked you about, only difference is mine have adjustable headrests. And you know, I've also got crappy fabric and padding.

I know an older fella that deals in old Impala parts, he has a lot of stuff through '70, but his favorite years are the '58-'64. Normally if I need something I just stop in when his garage is opened up, but I'm not home right now. I'll look for his phone # and PM it to you when I find it.

Looks nice!

The lining has probably come loose from the park brake shoe. Does your park brake even work? If you never use it then you can just remove the shoe and be done with it.

I'm trying to figure out how a CV spacer can possibly make the wheel stick out more...

Yes, that helps very much! I'm not worried about the dash part of it, because it makes a nice recess for mounting a CB. I'm pleased to find out a 900 seat will also work.

I have been Burb shopping and I keep finding trucks with front buckets and console, but I'd rather have the bench style seat. If the floor console is removed, is there enough room there to bolt in the center part of a bench seat? It looks like it would fit, but I could be wrong.

Howdy!
