Hey guys I'm thinking about buying a 92 2wd that I want to sas I have an 82 with good engine,4spd trans,t case,drive shafts,front and rear end,and springs but the frame is broke in 3 places so my question is what else do I have to have for a sas all the kits I've saw have lift parts I'm just going for a stock ride since I have all theese parts

Research the blue 2wd pickup SAS build over on Pirate. 2wds frames are different than the regular 4wds.

2wd frames are nice because they don't put the front springe hanger up so far

You will need a front spring hanger and a tube fit for the rear front spring mount (goes through the frame )

Peobably going to need to swap to a 4wd oil pan too
maybe a cross member too for the t/c

Thanks for the tip Jasonyota according to that thread sasing a 2wd is almost easier because the 2wd frame is almost the same as the old 4x4 frames

What ever truck I do the sas on is going to get the whole 4x4 running gear out of the 82 so hopefully no clearance issues with the oil pan

Thanks drop zone that's a damn good price on that kit everything I've looked at has been 1500 plus next question is with the reared will the 4x4 springs line up with the existing mounts or do I get to play with the torch some more in the post JasonYota referred me to the guy used the 2wd springs and rear end

Yes, your existing rear springs should work, spring over with new ubolts, think u bolt flip kit

Oil pan clearance can be an issue. I have an engine out of a 2WD ready to go in my truck that i will need to swap to a 4wd oil pan because of the front axlw

Ok so my plan was to buy a 92 2wd I found on cl for 900 with a blown head gasket and auto trans good deal or no? If I get it I was gonna pull engine and trans out of my 90 2wd and put in it since it's got a good body you could throw a cat through the floor of my 90 and not hit a thing but any way keep 92 as dd and sas the 90 I personally think 900 is kinda steep for a vehicle woth a blown head gasket possible warped head does have water in the oil guys says runs good so I can only imagine what the bottom end looks like if he's been driving it I think would be fair deal for 650-700 what do you guys think?

Don't forget the added cost of getting a 4wd trans and transfer case. And a stock 2wd rear axle will be 5 lug instead of the 4wds 6 lug bolt pattern.
