What is the difference between the 2WD chassis and the 4x4 frame ? Besides the obvious difference of the torsion bars and coil springs, will the 4x4 A-Arms bolt up to the 2WD frame or is the 4x4 a complete redesign with a completely different chassis ?
I'm assuming the first and second gerneration had the same suspension as well ?
The front third of the frame is different. The A arms on the 4x4 are pretty much sticking straight out while the 2wd are angled a bit. go to the gmufitter web site and download the upfitter guide for one of the s10 years and compare the frame drawings.
Didn't know about the GM upfitter website. There's some good info there, and yes, the front section of the frame looks very different.

Yes, there were some small differences but for the most part it was the same. IIRC a couple of the crossmembers changed and the bumper mounts, but not a lot else.
