I've got a '65 heavy duty panel and among some of the ideas I've been tossing around, I was wondering if anybody has ever put a driven front axle on a first gen econoline? I realize a pitman arm will have to be fabricated, but since it's already a solid axle, is there any reason it can't be swapped for a driven solid axle?

 

I've seen pics and read stories about lots of 4x4 conversions.
