If your asking will the cab and bed off a two wheel drive will bolt up to
four wheel drive frame the answer is yes.

If your trying to take a two wheel drive truck and put 4x4 running gear
under it, the answer is No, without extensive modifications. A 2wd has coil
springs under the front end and a 4x4 has torsion bars. You would have to
do quite a bit of work to modify the frame to accept the 4x4 suspension.
The main part of the frame is the same but all of the brackets and mounts
(which are welded on at the factory) are different. You would have to cut
off all of the 2wd mounts and weld on the 4x4 mounts. In this case you
would be better off selling the 2wd and buying a 4x4.
