how much work???

I've asked this question before, but can't seem to find the response. I want to convert my 72 2wd truck to a 4X4, but can't seem to find a 4X4 frame to swap everything over to.

Now my idea, i have an orginial big block truck that has leaf springs, what would be involved in adding a 4X4 running gear under it? Can i just add a 6 lug rearend with 4X4 springs in the place of my 2wd leaf sprung rear end (are the perches the same)?

Now for the front, can i just unbolt the 2wd front and remove, and then add spring perches and a 4X4 front axle?

And then add a 4wd engine crossmember, and tranny crossmember and an automatic tranny/205.

I have a 69, so i could get all measurements from it.

Thanks for the help

David
