Song references a bump if you listen to when the truck is bought.

Converting a 2WD to a 4WD is doable but it's alot of work. Most will say simply get a 4x4 to start with.
Read these for background.. the principles are the same. Then evaluate if you have the time, facilities, tools, money, and know-how.

Re: 2wd should i lift or do a 4x4 swap?
When I did mine, I had a 70 2wd and a 68 4wd. It was pretty easy to put the 70 body on the 68 frame. I used my engine puller to swap everything. The cab was the hardest part.

Why is it that the trucks are always the best running vehicles in the family?
Ford means "found on road daily"
