4x4 conversion

can I put my '88 short wheelbase cab and bed on a '87 or '88 full size
Bronco frame or would it be easier to swap all the four wheel drive stuff
out of the Bronco to my 2wd truck? The bronco has a blown up 351W and the body is rusty and my truck is solid which is why I want to keep my truck but I'd love to have 4wd and I can get the Bronco cheap.

im not going to say you cant do it.... just depends on how much work you wanna do. the bronco frame is shorter then a reg cab short bed pu so it wont just drop on. swapping over the 4x stuff really isnt that difficult just be sure everything is in good working order before you take a working truck and introduce problems lol. only thing you should need is a new rear drive shaft cause it will be a little longer then the broncos. the front will work.

Thanks that's what I wanted to know. If it won't drop on I'll change the running gear. Don't want a cobbled up mess.
