Default thinking of making my truk single cab

so like the tittle says. thinking of buying a single cab and just transfer everything. some ppl think its stupid for destroying a "real" ss but if i can build something better why not right?
Also does anyone know if i could keep the awd in the single cab?

i dont see why not, they make 4wd rcsb trucks. you will just have a shorter wheelbase and a shorter rear driveshaft....and the obvious, no rear seat

Do it! Theres a guy on ls1truck that changed from 4wd to awd on a swb truck and he did a good write-up on it. If your serious about the build check it out its right on the front page and he has the part numbers you'll need to solve the driveshaft issue too.

All you would need is the cab, misc. interior pieces, 4wd frame and longer rear driveshaft, fuel lines, ebrake lines, brake lines. The rest should work fine.
