4wd frame swap?
I have a 59 2wd swb f100 . Id love to make it 4wd . Is ther any frames out there that would be suitable for 4wd swap. I'm new to the whole frame swaps so I haven't a clue what would work and what won't.my main goal is to lift it and puts some biger tires on it possibly light duty ofroading . thanks for your help.

Are you asking about a frame swap because you want to go to newer running gear & powertrain? No experience with the 2wd's of this era, but aren't they leaf-sprung on the front end? Wouldn't it be easier to just have new front & rear springs built & buy a solid front axle and T-case(cases for these trucks were divorce-mounted anyway)?

Just to add to what 594x4 said. You could probably go for a little later model 4x4 as in 61-65 F100 series and get the job done too. I have not done this before so if that the route you can go make lots of measurements before getting involved on this suggestion. All the running gear looks very similar and I belive the frames are almost the same. Remeber you will need the cross member for the transfer case also. Thats pretty evident but thought I would mention it. 61-65 F100 will have the dana 44 front axle and they are leaf sprung. 66 F100 4x4 is based off the bronco front end has coil springs so would not be what you are looking for.

I have a 1960 F250 Big Back Window FACTORY 4X4 for sale. Complete minus engine (was a V8), radiator, and bed. EVERYTHING else is there and front and back glass are not cracked. Axles, driveshafts, trans, steering and everything else you can imagine are there.
I'm a long way from New York but close to Las Vegas if you wanted to figure out what it would cost to ship it. No, I won't part it out, sorry. If you're interested you can call me at 435-668-1401.
