Re: 2wd to 4wd.

You need to remove the front leaf spring hanger on the 4wd, which is also the radiator support mount bracket, and install it on the 2wd truck. You will need to swap steering boxes, and either measure the 4wd frame and cut a hole in your 2wd frame for the shackles, or cut the whole thing out and weld it in the 2wd frame. I plan on doing the second one tomorrow on my longhorn weather permitting. You will also need a 4x4 engine crossmember out of a 67-72 4x4 frame and put it in your frame. I have one if you need one.
