2wd ranger convert to 4wd with b2 drivetrain?
I have a 87 2wd ranger that is my daily driver,and runs great. I also have access to a 86 b2 with trashed body(dented,rusted beyond repair) but perfect drivetrain other then bad engine. What would it take to swap the b2's 4wd parts over to the ranger to make it a 4wd? is there any welding involved,or is it a bolt on deal? how about frame differences? both vehicles have the 2.9 v6 engine. thanks,Ben

Are both chassis the same wheel base?
Some guys think it's easier to change bodys than to change the suspension & transfer case etc.
How good/bad is the B frame?
You could swap the good engine in while the body is off and save some time there too.
