1994 chevy 4x4 SAS
1 Attachment(s)
Trying to get this thing wrapped up and got a question. We are running the dodge nv4500 and the stock tcase (241dld i think?) along with a kingpin dana 60 out of a 1979 ford. My question is with actuating the 4x4. Since i have manual hubs do i still need vacuum lines for it to work? I'm unfamiliar with how the vacuum works inside the transfer case. Thanks in advance

The vaccum line on any 241 dodge case are only used to switch the CAD, not for any t-case function.

Lookin sweet man!! :) I done a 97' crew cab that body style!

I converted my '02 using an '05 F350 axle. Here's the thread. Also made it a 4x4 in the process!

Looks good! What size wheels & tires?

Nice swap man. That almost looks like a 1500?? Im entertaining the idea of doing one myself. How is it driving so far?

There were numerous reasons that I chose a D60 from an '05 ford.
1) lock out hubs 2) crossover steering 3) high pinion 4) coil springs 5) stronger than an AAM 9.25 and the list goes on.... |
Does anyone have any advice on retrofitting some amp powersteps? They don't make any for trucks this far back, but i'm sure someone has done it or at least seen it

as far as the powersteps go - The best ive seen was a flat steel beam (about a half inch to an inch) that ran between the body and frame. longways from body mount to body mount - that gives you a sturdy flat surface to weld and drill mounting holes into. |

I ordered some new mirrors today that look like the ones off of newer chevy/gmc trucks. I also ended up just ordering some black powdercoated nerf bars instead of powersteps. I figured for $1200 difference i can deal with it for now.

Got everything put on today. Going to look into leveling the front. It looks short now that it has the nerf bars on it. I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out though

And now 15% on sides and back, and 35% on the windshield

Sweet ride! Did you use a GM 14 bolt in the rear or switch both diffs as a match set when you installed the front diff?
|
It has the 14 bolt in the rear. We were going to swap front and rear, but didn't feel like cutting and rewelding shock mounts and spring perches

collecting parts

I'm going to start collecting parts here soon. Id like to go with the same setup you're running (pulling out the auto and putting in a NV4500). If im not mistaken I have to move everything back right? Then shorten the rear driveshaft and lengthen the front? Im already on a body lift which Im hoping will with some of the clearance issues. Its also SAS'd with crossover steering. What did you do about brakes and A/C? Thanks |
