Hello there i am new to this website. I love chevy luv trucks and have had several in my life. The last two i had were both 2WD, but for good reasons i had to give both of them up. I decided to look for another luv, but they are hard to find. I did happen to find a 4x4 and would like to purchase it and convert it to 2WD and was wondering how hard it would be and what exactly i would need to do to convert it to 2WD?

The reason why i want to convert it to 2WD is because i plan on fixing it up into a show truck. I am located in Copperas Cove, Texas.

If your wanting to build a 2wd show truck i suggest you don't use a converted 4wd. There are differences between the frames even after the 4wd parts are removed that will hold you back.
