2wd to 4wd using 2wd frame?

Is it possible to convert a 2wd to a 4wd using the brackets off a 4x4 frame? The 4x4 frame we have is pretty rusted so I was thinking about cutting the brackets off and using the 2wd frame if it will work. Doing this on a 91 choo choo suburban.

Thanks, Kade

With the brackets, it is pretty straight forward. Here is a work log on Pirate. His is a bit more custom then I think you want, but it documents the process pretty good.

Another conversion.

Update: got the front and rear axles in. It really isn't that bad if you have a donor frame.
