It is a question that pops up from time to time: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...onversion.html
BTW, if you Google your question and type FTE into your search you will get a "more results from" option which will give you hundreds of FTE threads. Saves time and redundant questions.

Well, for what most shops get for hourly rate, you'd be money ahead to just go buy a 4x4. It's been done but even if they had done it many times before, it could still go over 100 billable hours plus parts, like over 10 grand in a heartbeat.
