can i use this frame?

I recently bought a 79 f250 crewcab 4x4. After i got it home i noticed the frame is cracked and welded in two places and spliced and welded in two more. And when they cut and spliced it they moved the rear axle to within about 2ft of the rear of the cab. I have found a 73-74 2wd crewcab for parts nearby. Can i put my 4wd parts on the 2wd frame with a few modifications or do i just need to find a 4wd crewcab frame?

major mods will be needed to use the 2x4 frame. best bet is to find a 4x4 frame.
