4x4 to 4x2?
Bought a '77 Ramcharger. I like it, but I think I would like it better if it were a 2wd. I'm not new to mopar, but I'm kinda new to 4x4's. The 203 transfer case is a little noisy, and I'm 99% on paved roads, so I don't know if I like the full time 4 wheel drive.
I was thinking of putting in a regular 727 from a 2wd. Perhaps a drive shaft? Anyone done this, and am I leaving out anything?? thanks

But back to going to 2wd, could I just swap to a 2wd tranny and different drive shaft? Do I need a different cross member also?

A different transfer case will allow you to shift it into 4WD or 2WD when needed. Not sure what one you need. You could pull the trans and t case and put in a 2WD tranny but why would you do that with 4X4. You could even got a front axle out of a newer truck that has a cad unit. Yes you will need a different cross member if you put in a 2WD trans along with a longer drive shaft. Locking hubs or a different front axle would be the cheapest and least time consuming.
