front suspension

howdy everybody so i realize this is the exact opposite of what most people do but...i have a 86 f-150 4x4 with a 351-windsor, now here's my dillemma, i want a street truck, but this truck has sentimental value, so i can't get rid of it. so how hard or easy is it to remove everything that has to do with the four wheel drive, and replace it with just the twin i-beam two wheel drive front, i know i will have to get a new drive shaft and all that good stuff. also has anyone ever done a a-arm type suspension on these kinda trucks? any help is greatly appreciated

I am sure you could find someone who wants to convert a 2wd to a 4x4, you could just swap parts, and you will both have what you want.
