Not crazy if you like your truck that much. I did this to my 94, 2x4 to 4x4, 4" suspension, 3" body, changed I6 to 302, 3/4 ton rears and would do it again.
I came across the parts pretty cheap, did the work all myself and not including the engine swap and rears, only had about $2000 total. $500 was just to change the 2x tranny to accept the xfer case. much cheaper than a junk yard tranny that was in a wreck and who knows how long it will last.
the cost difference of what you'd have between selling yours, buying a new 4x4, not knowing what you're buying.....
pretty much equals out in dollars.
