I can't give prices, pictures or help you work on it but I can tell you it has been done before n I think all you need to do to the frame if I remember right is add the rear shackle hangers.

I'm doing a 2WD to 4WD conversion on an older crew cab truck. The ONLY reason I'm doing it is because there are/were no available 4WD crew cab frames local to me. You might be farther ahead time and dollar wise to just find a good used 4WD frame with springs and build off of it. There are quite a few getting scrapped because the trucks are getting parted out for their major components.
