yeah, I figured it would be easiest to completely do without any transfer case, and like you said, just need to watch the overspeeding.

Can anyone tell me how much a 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive version of a truck have in common? Would a front axel from a four-wheel pretty much "drop-in" to a two-wheel bay?

I would imagine all the wheel/axel work could be done without having to pull the engine.

The steering would need to be disconnected, so maybe a swap to manual steering could happen at the same time.
