if anyone out there has done or knows of a site on 2wd to 4wd conversion on a 1994 F-150 i would appriciate any info thanks

 

Im no expert but it seems like that would be A LOT of work. And $$$

 

Seriously man it's not worth it. It would cost less to trade yours in for a 4x4.

 

I agree about the cost, It will cost alot, but if you like your truck and are willing to spend the $$$$ then go for it. There is just something about building a truck yourself. If you do mit right and use the right parts you will end up with a more capabile 4x4 then if you would have went out and just bought a stock 4x4. As far as kits go, I am not sure that anyone makes one for Ford, the only one that I know of is from Off Road Unlimited and they make them for GM. You may want to get in touch with them and see if they cant help you out....

 

ive got most of the parts lying around but im wondering if anyone knows whether it is a straight bolt in

 

I'm glad someone posted this comment I have been debating this for a little while and really want to do it myself as well. Would you go mechanical engage of electrical? How much would you estimate it to cost? How much time would you think it would take?

the only possibility of it being a bolt in would be if the front clip were the same (theframe's front clip, not the sheetmetal )---- 2wd uses i beam suspension.

I'm trying to sell my 97 4wd locally with a sour engine for $1500 or so. (not an advertisement, just an example)
Wouldn't it be easier to scout around in your area and find something like that and just fix the problems? Rather than potentially creating new problems with such a massive retrofit.

Wait a second --- all you really need is a front axle, a t-case that may or may not work with your current tranny, new steering shaft parts, steering box, plus all the associated other front end gear ----- along with welding skills that are quite a few steps more advanced than you get at high school vo-tech. After all - it is a chassis ------ and voila! You have just spent $7 or 8000$ worth of man hours when you can buy a reasonable '94 4wd for 5 or 6 g's.

Same goes double, but even more so for an 'o1 conversion attempt ------ unless you are building a race truck - but then you wouldnt be using this forum
