I ran a few searches on this, but haven't got my head wrapped around it yet, so I'm asking the experts for help, (I'll keep searching, but time is of the essence, both for the sale, but also because for the next couple of weeks I'm slammed at work - 7/12s are rough after a while, and my research time will be limited. But, then I would have time to take on the swap).
I have a 93 D250, extended cab, that I would absolutely love to turn into a 4wd, expedition vehicle. A little bigger tires and suspension, etc. I found a reasonably priced 93 W250 regular cab gasser, with a beat body. Can I take the 4wd components off the W250, and put them on my D250? Obviously all the suspension, axle, etc would have to move over, and I'm guessing transmission also, and probably steering box. Will the stuff bolt up? Or much fab required?
I'm not scared of fabbing to some extent - I've solid axle swapped a Toyota before, but from a kit. Cutting and welding I'm fine with, but if it's reinventing all sorts of geometry I would start to get scared. Any help appreciated...
