4x4 Shift while moving

Would it be possible to shift into and out of 4wd while driving down the road? I have a 85' with the C-6 and not entirely sure what transfer case but it is a manual shift case. Not looking to shift at 55 mph but lets say going like 20 or so.

2 wheel to 4 wheel high shift is fine at speeds under 40 mph or so. let off power, shift and get back into throttle.
but you will have to have the front hubs locked before doing this to have 4X4.
you have to be stopped and in neutral to shift from 4 high to 4 low.
