It shouldn't be too hard assuming you have access to a decent way to lift the cab. It could be done in a weekend I'd say with a buddy or two to help.

Since they're the same year and drivetrain you shouldn't have to mess with too much wiring, just unhook everything, swap cabs and plug it all in like it was.

Only thing I could see might be an issue is the light for 4x4 on the dash. Not sure if that goes through the PCM or not, is so, just swap the PCM.

hardest part would be cutting the hole in the two wheel cab floor to put it on the 4X4 frame.
