2wd to 4x4 conversion

So I have a 66 C20 with a 305. But I'd really like to have a 4x4 personally, and looking at 4x4 trucks in my year they're all pretty uh out of my price range. So I was wondering what parts I would need to convert my 2wd into a 4x4 truck and where I might need to get them. Are parts interchangeable between years where I could find a donor 4x4 of a later year that I could use? Or do I need to find my exact year range? Or is this gonna be harder than I thought and would have better luck converting over to a later year everything? Tips and tricks are always helpful. Thanks forum!

Re: 2wd to 4x4 conversion

this seems to come up about once a week. check up in the FAQ section or just search back a week or 2

Re: 2wd to 4x4 conversion

I did a search and didn't see anything about doing a 4x4 conversion. I guess it must be someplace other than the 60-66 forum.

Re: 2wd to 4x4 conversion

I agree.

In my opinion, Jon's Suburban is an excellent example of how to do a 4x4 conversion
