frame questions

alright i was wondering if anyone could tell me if they know the difference between the 2wd and 4wd front clip frame on the 99' and newer chevy silverado 1500. any help thanks

can anyone help?

i don't know if there is, i do know that 00-up chevy/gmc HD have a different core suport than the 1500. hd support is about 2"s taller.

they are different. the 2wd frame will have spring pockets. the 4wd trucks use a torsion bar setup for the front suspension so there will be no spring pockets.

Other than what Lucky Dime said, I'm not sure what else is different.

so would it still work then just get different hubs,arms made make my own tabs of the frame for the bags mounts then i would assume it would work then right?

no I have both a 4wd and 2wd frame in my possesion right now, everything is mounted different, the lower control arms are mounted differently, the uppers are set up for a higher ride height, the sway bar setup, the engine crossmember, basically the whole front clip is different, although you could technically just remove the 4wd stuff, make sure you run 2wd hubs, and build a custom bag setup and custom lower arm mount.

But to answer your question from firewall forward they are completely different suspension and frame crossmember wise.
