The frame is different from the firewall forward.
You can convert a 2WD to 4WD but, as Mark a. said, it's definitely NOT a bolt in deal. There will be a lot of welding involved.
Crossmembers are different, motor mount towers mount differently, steering is different, etc.
It's been done many, many times but there is a lot of work involved.
