Conversion
I am in the process of buying a swb truck and I am going to take the front and cab off of my lwb to transfer to the swb. I am also wanting to get a 3/4 ton 4x4 to restore. My question is has anyone tried to take a 1/2 ton lwb 2wd frame and tried to convert it to a 3/4 ton 4x4? Would this process be to difficult?

Re: Conversion
The prevailing opinion it that it's a PITA to convert a two wheel drive to a four wheel drive.

Re: Conversion
If the 2wd has leaf springs,you can go with that and get a 3/4t 2wd rear.The spring perches are at different widths between 2 and 4wd.
