2WD to 4WD
Just for ****s and grins what kind of work would be involved with converting a 2WD D-150 to a 4WD? What would you have to change? What would a guy all need? And about how much would it cost? And are there conversion kits out there for 1st gen Ram? Well let the debate begin, and thanks to all who post.

Find a 4x4 that has the body rusted off of it or is really tore up put your cab,bed, and dog house on the 4x4 frame and be done. Its not as simple as I make it sound but its alot easier than turning a D truck into a W truck.

RE: 2WD to 4WD
wow i plan on doing this to my d 150 sometime. i know everyone is saying just get a 4x4 frame or whole truck, which may be easier, but as the original question says, what kind of work would be involved, and what would actually need to be done to convert WITHOUT swapping frames. and what are some differences in the d and w bodies?

RE: 2WD to 4WD
well since frame swap is the way to go, i have a 92 ext. cab. i was thinking just get the frame from a reg cab long bed and put in that. does anyone know if they fit? if i had one to measure i wouldnt ask. and will it fit on the 70s frames too? or just the 80s and up to 93?
thanks
