Should I?
I've been looking for a 2wd for a number of reasons as I'm just looking for something to wrench on and have a cruiser. I'm going to check it out sometime this weekend and see what else the pictures don't tell me.

Oh, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant.

I meant to say I have been looking for a 2wd but this one is a 4wd in okay condition. Really the reason I would prefer a 2wd is less parts to deal with. It'll never see offroad (maybe a couple times) since I have my DD as the 4wd. Less insurance. Cheaper to maintain I guess what I'm tryin' to say. Full restore to factory with two tone and whatnot. I'm willing to go either way; just wanted to see y'all's opinion.

okay, gotcha. But anyways, the truck looks nice from what I can see. That's not a bad price either. Well, good look with whatever you decide.

Re: Should I?
And either way to convert is only an output adapter and drive shaft.
To get rid of a lot of the dead weight anyway...
The rest of the front suspension is a bitch...
