1983 4X4 Berlinetta Conversion Questions
Ok. i have a 1983 Berlinetta Camaro and have decided to do a 4X4 conversion with it. I have a pic i am uploading and i like the stance this car has and would like to know what kind of frame or suspension would be best for the stance i am looking for? and how much $$$ would i be looking at to achieve this?

Your kidding right?
But if you must. Probably a shortbed k10 or k5 chassis woulld be a good start. Have to measure wheel base.
You will have a few grand into the project easy if you do all the work yourself. More depending on the level and quality of work

Re: 1983 4X4 Berlinetta Conversion Questions
Maybe I should have been more specific with my first reply. I did not mean destroy a Blazer to build that thing. I meant "save" a Blazer if you want a 4x4.
