Now, keep in mind, this is an older truck AND they didn't do an IFS setup. Like I said, much easier to do this if you are wanting to do a solid axle rather than IFS.

this dude is a real ahole for having 9 posts....
if it helps, when I had my wheels off the other day I noticed my rotors had grooves for a cv shaft. Our 2wd trucks are set up for 4wd, just missing the drivetrain. The plug for the switch is in the dash, and the common parts are interchangeable.
Im guessing transfer case, driveshaft, 4wd driveshaft, differential, brackets and plate, cv axles, suspension ,wire harnesses, switch, and probably a computer retune. I think buying the rolled 4wd would be the best bet.
Its definitely do-able, if you have another vehicle to drive around for the months it would take. I did it on a 2wd rancher, but a 4wheeler is a whole different package than a truck. If youre wanting to go big then do the solid axle. Itd be easier and has alot of benefits.

I don't understand why everybody is coming in his thread just cutting him down saying you can't do it, or it's not worth your time.. Who are you to tell him it's not worth his time? How do you know it isn't worth his time? All the guy asked for was some pictures, not if it was worth his time.

Thanks for the link to these articles, shame they chose a crappy chevy! lol! It looks like a good read. I know why they didn't do an IFS as it's alot more complex. I would choose an IFS because I like my trucks to handle.
