if it has manual hubs, you might be in luck for an easy solution. just unlock one or both hubs (if possible, hubs might also be in a bind and then move forward abd back a short distance at low speeds and it should unbind the shifter to allow you to shift back into 2wd. If both hubs are two tight to turn, try jacking one wheel off the ground and then wiggle the tire and the hub should release. don't ask me how i know this

did you lock the hubs before playing in the dirt?
Look at the frount wheels, and there should be a hub in the center of them, this is off a chebby, but it's all I could in the google search I did (2 sec)

Same principal as a ford though, there's a peice in the center with an arrow on it, and a peice on the outside with the words lock, and free on it.
Make sure the arrow's pointing to "free"
Then, put the truck in nutral, and it should come out of 4wd...

You should be able to put it in neutral,chock the wheels and get under it.look for a 1/2" square recessed in the top of the trans. case, use a half inch drive extension on a half inch rachet or pull bar to manually force it outta gear.Should turn about a half a round to get it out and should have an arrow on it letting you know which way to turn it.
