Whelen36 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Does anybody out there make a resins 4x4 conversion for 1988 and newer Chevy/gmc trucks ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 BNL Resins makes a lot of 4x4 parts that could be used to make one but they're all straight axle style. I don't think anyone does the stock IFS front end the factory used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Back when the AMT late 80/early 90s kit was new on the streets, there was a resin conversion available for the stock IFS 4x4, but I'm not sure of the company that put it out. A friend had ordered it and a 4x4 conversion for the Revell Dodge VTS and I think it MAY have been from Pro Tech, but don't hold me to it.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Does anybody out there make a resins 4x4 conversion for 1988 and newer Chevy/gmc trucks ????I think that I still have one that I bought about 10 years ago. I think it was made by Hendrix. If your interested send me a PM. I'll have to do some digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
455 Rocket Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Highway, Accu-Pro was the name of the company. I got mine way back in day. Still need to finish my conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The Chevy short bed kits (sportside and SS454) from AMT that depict late 80's/early 90's models will fit on the snap fast '96 Chevy Tahoe chassis giving you a 4wd chassis. The downside is that the truck has to be built curbside unless you carefully carve out the molded in engine/trans from the Tahoe chassis.

caryfoster1 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) The 4x4 conversion was produced by accupro years ago. When they folded their products were bought by Randy Frost of Perrys. I'm not sure if it is still in his product line or even if you can still get it. Hopefully this Helps Edited May 5, 2016 by caryfoster1 mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to check my version to see if a transfer case was included. I don't remember that there was one.Also, the AMT Cadillac Escalade has a 4x4 suspension that can be adapted as does the curbside Revell Escalade (needs work to open the engine bay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Neither of those Escalade kits would have correct 4x4 setup for the '88-'98 GM trucks. It would only be correct for the '99-'06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 They may not be totally correct, but they are the same general design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
