2wd vs. 4wd frames

I am wondering how much of a difference there is between the 2wd and 4wd frames aside from the obvious suspension differences. Can a 4wd frame be converted into 2wd? The reason I am asking is because I am stripping a '85 4wd Burb for parts so I have the frame from this. My plans for my 76 are to 4-link, c-notch, and bag the suspension. Idealy if I could do all of the mods with no body in the way that would be the way to go. Then i would just swap the body to the moded frame and, Bob's your uncle, I'd have a low burb. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Re: 2wd vs. 4wd frames

I have a 1991 Burb 2 wheel drive that I am using for parts and the frame looks the same as a 4 wheel drive frame. You could have the frame on this one when I get done with it.
