Install 4x4

Got a 74 F250 360 A/T PS would like to put
4x4 under it. Any draw backs? What years will
fit? Easy or difficult to do?

Thanks

X2, not being a smart a$$ but sell it and buy a 4x4

but having said that, it can be done, but takes time, money, and most importantly fabrication skills....much easier to just buy a 4x4 (or swap your cab/bed onto a 4x4 chassis).

Only because it was asked: 4WOR Magazine: Project Two-by Four (4x4 Conversion)

2x with the previous. Unless you have the fab skills and ultra lo-buck parts, then it makes sense to start with a 4x4.
