I know this may seem strange but does anyone know if it possible to swap IN a 4x2 front end from a wagon or truck INTO a 4x4 truck?

Are you planning a Willys original 2 wheel drive front end or an after market Mustang II style? The aftermarket stuff would give you disc brakes.
But anything is possible, given enough time or money. Shouldn't be a real difficult change, much easier than going from 2wd to 4x4.

4X2 in to a 4X4 frame?? That could be rough. I don't know. If you are talking Front End Clip (as in body parts), yes it's possible. The only problem is that you have to cut out the inner fender wells to clear the shocks. Other than that, all body parts are the same.

Thanks for all the help guys. Ive looked at the numbers and it really depends on if I can find a donor 4x2 and it is cheaper than a MII.
