Looking to modify an old car (wanna do some redneck shit) ISO a little guidance

[tomahawk1976]

Got a 76 Chevelle and wanna jack the fucker up on some big ass muddier tires. Really don't know shit about doing any of this. Would I be better off finding a donor vehicle for the suspension or frame or whatever?

Usually the guys that do what you want to do put the body on a frame of an old K5 Blazer, or something similar, and then add a lift so they can stuff 35" tires on it. I have seen people do this with old camaro's, or else Camino's I think your Chevelle would be pretty cool.

Saw a lot of this type shit back in North Dakota. Measure your wheelbase and find a 4X4 donor vehicle with a good frame with the same wheelbase/ width and attach your Chevelle body onto the donor frame/ driveline.

Much info lives on 4x4 forums. Pirate 4x4 blows away everything else. https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/

Got a welder, torch, and plenty of automotive tools? Have at it. Don't have a welder, torch, and plenty of automotive tools? Get those first because tools make toys but toys don't make tools.

Rednecks will lift ANYTHING

[kmanator]

Yes,A doner 4x4 chassis would be a start...Here is one I built in the past..

The '74 Mudstang I built back in the 80's dubbed the' High Hoss' Built on a shortened '69 jeep Gladiator frame with Dana 44's SBC 283c.i..Turbo 400/ NP205 transfer case..14.5x36 tires.....good times...

Sorry, no photos. But a buddy of mine took the body of a '72 Ford Pinto and threw it on a Ford Bronco back in the 80's.

And the Best advice Oskar goes to Dragstews!! Going crazy always works, mate! Btw, tomahawk1976, it’s been a long time since your last updates here. So, I hope you’re still going crazy and making something outstanding, lol! I had the same exact idea about a year ago. I guess I’ve read all the articles on https://www.theautocarehub.com, you know. Though I didn’t come up with something really cool, I’m glad I’ve gone through all that stuff because now I can repair any car literally. Anyway, keep us updated on your masterpiece, buddy.
