My son and his friends want to do a project.  I've got a 98 Silverado 2WD extend cab.  How difficult would it be to convert to 4WD?  What would be needed?  Front and Rear axles, Tranny, and Transfer Case?  Will the frame/body be able to make the swap or are they specific to 2WD?

I've done up a real nice 64 impala, so I'm not afraid to do mechanicals.  Never done any 4WD stuff before.  Just wondering if this would be a bolt up job that the boys could do in the driveway or if it would require some fab work.
