Yukon 2dr 2wd Project Thread
I figured that I would post a project thread here because many people showed interest and comments when I posted pictures a while back, and I am always open to comments and suggestions.
A few of these pictures might be out of place on the whole project timeline but the general idea should be achieved I think. It started out as a 1992 GMC Yukon 2dr 4wd with the Bright blue metallic and silver 2 tone as in this picture.... ![]() Then eventually around the 2002 era I shaved it and painted a few things inside but it was still my daily driver so I didnt go to extensive with it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then around 2006 I decided that since I had a perfectly good garage and a new daily driver that it was time to start on the neverending project. My intention was to make it a 2wd that lays frame on 22's with a powerful but street friendly motor. In order to change it from 4wd to 2wd I needed to swap out the frame to one that could take the 2wd components, the way I did this was to take a 2wd 4 door Tahoe frame front half and then mate it up with the original back half. |

Then after the frame was finished I brought the body in to shave the firewall
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After I put the firewall in primer, I went ahead and put the truck back on to the frame. I replaced the roof and quarters also since I was doing everything else. I purchased roof with no roof rack holes and quarters with no flares. ![]() ![]() |

Re: Yukon 2dr 2wd Project Thread
After putting the new panels on it I put the truck in primer and painted the firewall and then brought it home to do Motor, wiring, Brakes and a few other odds and ends prior to paint.
The motor is a 355 tbi motor with Vortec heads and the GMPP Tbi Intake, The procharger was a P600b that I eeded up ditching because of various reasons. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hung the sheetmetal on the fron to check clearances on everything and buttoned up the motor.

Re: Yukon 2dr 2wd Project Thread
Good build, thanks for posting it!
:edit: Just noticed, is that the older style column with the newer dash? I couldn't ever picture how it would look, if that is it, I might go that route too.. Last edited by 69c10stepside; 02-16-2010 at 05:37 PM. |

Re: Yukon 2dr 2wd Project Thread
Wow, our trucks have a lot in common -- I have an Optima red top and a Titans license plate too!
![]() Seriously, what an awesome build. I liked it in the second pic, as your DD, so I know it will be killer when you're done. Love the 335s, by the way -- are those the chrome finish, or the super finish? Oh, and what part of TN are you in?

![]() Yeah I am just following every forum you are on and posting my build... ![]() The LS motor looks to be sooner then later this year. It all depends on how in depth I get into the real street and outlaw 10.5 cars this season. I am slowly gathering parts but I'm not ready for the truck to be out of commision for the swap yet. Good things to come though. |
