Skid plates for 2wd

[twebuh]

Anyone know where I can get ahold of skid plates for 2wds? I know the 4x4 came with them but I’m trying to get something to at least cover the bottom of the radiator and things like that. Ideally I want it to go all the back and cover the oil pan. I don’t have access to a welder so I’m trying to figure out what the best way to do this is

They were never optioned for theses era. My guess fabricate one or maybe see if you can use a 4wd and alter it for a 2wd. But the frames set up are different. So you'll have to get creative how it bolts up.

Originally designed to protect off road. Don't expect a 2wd off road. Fabrication skills will be put to the test.

Yeah I know it’s not really giving me much “street cred” but I wasn’t going to lower my 3/4 ton lol. So being lifted, occasionally getting in mud I just wanna protect it so I guess I’m gonna make a 4x4 plate fit

There’s only 3 pieces for 4x4 and you not having a transfer case or front differential, the only one is the front shield that you might already have. I’m not sure if 2wd have those, I would guess they do. If it does and yours isn’t an aluminum one, you could swap in an aluminum part.

I did not know that you could get the 3rd plate in metal I knew that the front diff was a metal plate that the t-case is a metal plate but the 3rd I have only seen 2 of them in person and they were both plastic one was on a 92 6 lug K-2500 and the other one is the one that is on our 97 K-3500 crew cab long bed 6.5 turbo diesel

Won't be adapting the 4x4 front skid plate to a RWD because there's simply nowhere to attach it. That is where the frames differ greatly between the two trucks. Almost completely different.

I guess the only option is to buy all 3 skid plates and swap in a 4x4!
