'79 Frame question

Wow, where do I start?
Here's what I've got:
'79 F250 SCLB 460,C6,Air 2wd
'78 F250 RCLB 460(swapped),Man 4x4 w/4" Rough Country
'77 F150 SCSB (good box)

What I'd like to know:
Can I put the '79SC on the '78RC frame? If so how?
Can I put the '784x4 stuff under the '79SC's frame? If so how?

I guess that's a start for now, thanks! Walt

Trying to turn a 4x2 into a 4x4 is considered cost,time & work prohibitive.

You need the experience ,facility *& lots of money to do it.

Putting a SC on a RC frame will cause wheelbase to box problems.

Thanks for the reply! I guess I havn't measured really good but I thought the short box would do the trick. So, what your saying is that I need to find a 4x4 SC frame. Rats, thats what I thought I'd have to do. Ok, I'm in NE Montana, any ideas where I could find one close? Thanks again! Walt
