99 4l60e swap to 02 2wd My 99 has a 4x4 4l60e, is it possible to the the transmission out of my 02 2wd single cab (has a 5.3l and 8 bolt rear axles) but the motor is 5.3l so im assuming it will bolt up to my other 5.3l. Considering i have the whole parts truck im hoping i can use everything from the donor truck. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

@Grant 99 z71 First welcome to the forum. Next, in the future please do not post on threads that have been dead for a year or more.
Now to answer your question:
The output shaft of 2WD and 4WD 4L60E are totally different and the transmission has to be extensive disassembled to swap output shafts.
Considering you are talking about 20+ year old transmission, I am certain that even the '02 should to be completely rebuilt. The input shaft seals will likely tear, same with gaskets and frictions are likely 90% worn out, with many internal leaks.
IMHO, it would be better to sell your 2WD trans and use the money toward a 4WD 4L60E, any year between '98 and '06 will work, later years are better. Just make sure it is a 300mm trans from an LS engine.
