Need Help Please
*So I found a 79' F150 4x4 (I basically just want the frame and running gear) that I can pick up for cheap. I have a 85' F250 reg cab, it's got a 460 in it Manual 4 speed, its 2WD and I want to go 4WD. So I was wondering if I could take the cab motor and tranny out of my truck and put it on the F150. Need all the advice I can get please.
