Hey guys I have interesting idea and was wondering if anyone has ever done it or has seen it done on a older truck. I have a 1978 F250 ranger 2wd and I want to convert it to 4wd. I know that most people that do this do a frame swap because of the difference of the coil spring frame to the leaf spring frame. And I'm not a fan of the ttb frontends. So my idea is to take the frontend out of the 6.0 powerstroke since it is a coil over spring frontend and a straight axle. I think by doing this I wouldn't have to deal with doing a frame swap as long as the frame widths are same from my 1978 to the 6.0?
Please let me know your opinion, Thanks
