Will a 4wd front end blot up to a 2wd frame. I have my 85 shorty and I want a 4wd Shortbed but don't want to pay the outrageous prices for one. So I was gonna buy a 4wd parts truck and switch out the whole front end. And parts of the cab. If I could bolt them up I was gonna spend some time doing that.

Thanks,

Cole

Anything can be done. Depends on your skills.
Bolt on? No. Not exactly.
You a handy fabricator and welder?

Can I mount my body on a newer frame? Like a 1998 Shortbed regular cab?
