I haven't seen it done before, but I'm not sure why you can't. The axle would be moved back 7 inches 133 to 140". I'd just look at each frame and see what the differences there are. It would be pretty cool to see a 4x4 SCS

I saw one on this site once. it was a big beastly rig and cool as hell. Think it was on the "calling all super camper specials" thread, there are a ton of photos on that thread though, Anthony went a little picture crazy. iirc it was one of his photos. Anyway it can be done as Bucks77 said just takes a little fabbing

I saved them. I've been toying with converting mine... toughest part would be finding an affordable D60 front.

Yes, very unique too, how many folks can say they have a SCS or let me clarify, a 140'' wheelbase F-350 AND its 4x4? Not many I'm guessing. I still say I saw a black or dark colored 4x4 here recently.......

Been wanting to build a 4x4 scs for years. Have the truck just not the time yet. Just use the scs frame and put a Dana 60 under the front. I have a Marmon-Herrington converted 73 F350 cc and thats what they did (except they used a Dana 70). Use the factory steering box and use a high steer arm on 60 and custom drag link. Big advantage is getting away from the high boy steering too. Mine has a divorced t/case but you could go with married if preffered. Wish I had the time (and money) to do mine.

Sorry should have been clearer, it's a cab/chassis regular cab but it's still very cool. I almost hated too, but I put a 12v Cummins in it also. Really love it. I'll try to post up some pics.
