BigCountry Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Not 100% but you would need to start with a 2wd tranny (or convert his to a 2wd tailshaft) get rid of the t-case, front driveshaft, front diff, get 2wd hubs and a new rear driveshaft. Should be about it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00chev Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 How would the t-bars act without all that extra weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 How would the t-bars act without all that extra weight? they'd act like all the other 2wd SS's out there with t-bar suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00chev Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 ok so the 2WDs dont use a softer t-bar right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 He better prepare to upgrade the rear diff too, the G80 locker will not last long if he converts to RWD...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ces63ss Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 might be easier to sell it and buy a 05 or newer. sounds like quite a challenge just to go 2wd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmahan Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 might be easier to sell it and buy a 05 or newer. sounds like quite a challenge just to go 2wd. yep it would probley be cheaper. he is looking to spend alot of $$$$$$$$ upgrading parts ect......

BigCountry Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Unless he finds a 2wd SS that wants to convert to AWD, hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wody Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 might be easier to sell it and buy a 05 or newer. sounds like quite a challenge just to go 2wd. just gotta make sure the '05 is 2WD, since '05 was the year when both 2WD and AWD models were available.

sdimedude Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Unless he finds a 2wd SS that wants to convert to AWD, hmmmm I thought 2wd SS's have coils in the front, not torsion bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I thought 2wd SS's have coils in the front, not torsion bars? Nope, they have torsion bars also.......the suspension from RWD to AWD is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
