4x4 Conversion?

I have a 1979 F100 Ranger. It has an 351W. It is a 2wd and I want to know how difficult it would be to convert to a 4x4. Just wondering if any one out there has done this and can give me info and parts list. Tks.

I did it. Your best bet would be to search, as this question comes up about once a month. There are many ways to skin the cat, so the parts list is quite variable.
By the way, welcome

Tks. Had two 79 4x4's in MT and let them get away. I know, I'm and idiot. Any idea how to find trucks for sale down here in TN? Maybe I'll just do a body to fram swap?

That's what I ended up doing. I really liked the coil ride of the 2wds, so I wanted that in 4wd. I decided to use a combination of 150/250 parts. In the end, it was easier to use a 4wd frame than it was to modify my 2wd frame.
