2wd to 4wd

[Toomanycars]

So I have a stupid question .
I just inherited a 92 4.0 auto standard cab 4x4 .. The problem with the truck is that i will not go forward in any gear.. I will move just fine in reverse but nothing in any forward gear..

Now my question is this ... I have the good 2wd tranny out of my 91 4.0 that i swapped a 5.0 into.. is there any chance that i can convert the 2wd to a 4wd tranny . it looks as thow the tail housing unbolts on the 2wd ...

I know it would just be easier to go get a 4x4 tranny but I already have the good 2wd trans and Im not afraid of some work .. if it means not spending any $$$$

Tailshafts are different I believe. The whole trans would have to be gutted and shafts swapped.

That.

The 2wd output shaft is shorter and won't spline into the transfer case. You can put the extention housing and t-case on the 2wd trans, but you still won't go anywhere unless you swap out the output shaft.
