Cab switch?

I have a 77 Ford F-250 custom that I want to convert to a 4wd. All I need to know is can I just switch over the cab and bed to a 77 4wd frame? I don't need to know how much it will cost or how y'all don't think it's worth it or to buy a 4wd truck. I've been searching for information on this topic for about a week and couldn't find the answer. I don't want to do frame modifications. I'm hoping for a simple bolt on or at least drilling new cab bolts

The cab should be a fairly direct swap. Only possible issue could be the transmission hump, whether it is a high or low hump, depending on which trans the 2wd cab had. Most likely be subtle difference in wiring, etc.

As for the bed. There were two different width rear frame widths, and I am not sure where the break is. Some other members will hopefully chime in and clarify this. Worst case, you would have to re-drill your bed to fit the frame.
