2WD to 4WD SAS
Okay, sometime down the road I would like to convert my 1986 F250 2WD to 4WD with a SAS. Please don't tell me just buy a 4WD, my truck has a lot of sentimental value to me and if it is going to cost as much to convert it to 4WD as it would be to buy a 4WD I would rather convert it.
So is doing a SAS on a 2wd the same as on a 4wd other than having to deal with the transfer case and driveshafts? As I understand it you can use the coil buckets that are stock on a 2WD? Does anybody have a link to someone showing how they do it?
Thanks for any help

I think I like the looks of leafs better after finding this build thread Project Ol' Blue 2WD SAS - Pirate4x4.Com
Finally found pics of somebody showing how they did it!

My neighbors house is basically a ford junk yard, they might have an old F350 that will work. I'm friends with him and his son so I might be able to get a deal on just taking the stuff I need. Last year he couldn't buy anymore trucks because if he had he would of had to of gotten a dealers license

Thanks for the heads up, my dad told me today that the guy has been hauling off a bunch of his old parts trucks off to the scrap yard so I might have to hustle. Hopefully me being good friends with him and him hauling stuff off for scrap maybe I can get a deal. Might even be able to trade some farm hand work to lower the price if has what I need.
It will be a while before I do the swap, when I do projects I slowly gather the parts that I need. But when and if I ever do the swap I will try and document it as a resource for anybody else that wants to try it.
