4x4 swap
I did this several years ago. From 80 to 96, it is a bolt in swap . Check search for several writeups. They may still be there.
I did swap using 85 4x4 parts into 88 2wd. took about twelve hours.

I do know thAt any sheetmetal parts will bolt on to either one. The problems I have run into before was on the front crossmembers between the 2. If you have a 4wd frame, it makes it alot easier. Now, the trucks I did this to were 1977 and 1979 if that makes a difference.

Hollander lists the F150 frames as interchangeable in groups (with the exception being, snow plow package) 2WD and 4WD. 80-91 interchange, 92-96 interchange...I believe the primary difference between the two eras is the frame horns themselves, not the crossmembers, etc. Hopefully this helps some.
