crew cab longbed 4wd

I really would like to have a 4wd crewcab longbed, and I've been doing some searching and I'm gussing that wasn't a factory option. So what to do? Stretch the frame on a 4x4 shortbed, convert a 2wd longbed to 4wd, or use a newer frame and mount the body. I'm guessing that isn't going to work, I'm sure the wheel base is differant. Any thoughts?

1) type in www.ebay.com

2) place this auction # into the "search" 4588408417 but you only have five days from TODAY

3) Bid

4) Win

5) Its not 4x4 but its a helluva lot easer than frame stretching/body swapping/etc/etc

so converting a 2wd is probably the best solution? Looks like the trucks are in Texas. Shipping up here to Alaska could get a little spendy! lol. That would be a great deal for someone down in that area!

O.k, check out my gallery. Can it be done, sure. What?
If you have the time, the resources and the money, you could do it. If you do it, do it so no one else can tell. It also might be better to find a donor longbed, for the rear part of the frame. My wife wants me to sell. Wife-Truck,Wife-Truck,Wife-Truck,Ahhh!
