Here's my first post here, so let's get to it...
Ok, I'm about to purchase a 1991 Chevy Suburban 2WD with the standard SBC 350 motor in it. I would really like to have a 4WD vehicle, but since I'm getting this truck in immaculate condition and at a steal price level, I can't turn it down. I've done a little bit of researched, talked with a few of my buddies who are mechanics, and it looks pretty good that I will probably be able to convert this truck to 4 wheel drive rather painlessly. Of course, however, I want to confirm it with the experts first.
Since it's a '91, it's still using the old manual-style transfer case, which shouldn't require any wiring. So, it looks like, it's going to be a moderatly simple job of taking the front end apartn, dropping the old driveshaft, putting the front axle in the front with CV shafts, locking hubs (I hope I can' find auto-locking hubs for it?), mounting the transfer case, and putting 2 new driveshafts in. It just seems that it can't be THAT easy to do, I've got to b missing something.. Thanks for any advice anyone can give to me.
