Its cheaper to sell yours and buy what you want, unless you have access to a cheap donor truck...

I've got 90% of what you'll need sitting here. I was going to convert one of my F150's but got another F250 instead so I don't have much use for it now.

It's a topic that has been discussed in depth. We even have a tech article in that section (see link above) telling you how to do it. It's very easy, what popa tim has said applies to just about anything except a 80-96 ford. They're very easy to convert, check out that tech article and try search criteria like "2wd to 4wd" or "4wd conversion" in our search function (specify this 87-96 forum for best results). May also try searching the 4x4 and suspension forums.

i appreciate all the help, the truck has a bit of sentimental value to it, so i'm not really inclined to sell it, but i would much rather it be a 4x4.
