Well, anything can be done with enough time and money, but turning a 4x2 into a 4x4 isn't like just bolting on an aftermarket kit. Basically, you would have to cannibalize the entire drive train from another 4x4 Ford, and by that time, you would be better off just getting an original 4x4. The front suspension has to be changed, a front differential has to be installed, the transfer case has to be installed, the drive shafts have to be custom fit, you have to cut holes in the floor for the levers---you're talking about rebuilding everything below the rocker panels. So the simple answer for all practical purposes is "No, you can't make it a 4x4."
