Lightbulb 1988 B250 4X4 Swap Help

Hello all. I have a 1988 B250 Van that I am wanting to do a 4x4 conversion on. I was wondering if any of the experts here knew of any 4x4 systems that would mount up to my van with the least amount of fabrication as possible. Any and all help is appreciated. If there is already a another thread that discusses this topic I would love to know. I looked but couldn't find anything. Thank you.

Dodge had an aftermarket company doing 4x4 conversions on their vans at one point, but, not lately. It is ALL going to have to be fabricated though. I have not found any 'kits' for the conversion, not even things like brackets and such.

I've done it... nothing bolts up not even from the few dodge conversions that are out there... your best bet without a lot of fab work is to try to find either find a Quigley or Pathfinder conversion donor that's wrecked or the body is rotted out on and go from there (still won't be even remotely bolt on or cheap to do - have to cut the front spring buckets and subframe up, make new cross-members and mounts, etc...). There are some other options, but all of them are $$$ unless you're doing the work yourself - then it's $$ and a lot of work... Just my experience...
