Default 3/4 ton 2wd to 4x4 swap

Has anyone converted to 4x4 on a 3/4 ton 2wd without switching frames?

I'm hoping to use a later axle (d44) with leafs and all and just making the mounting points match.

I plan to switch to an sm465 with whatever Tcase it comes with.

Any tips from someone who's done it?

Google had mostly frame swaps (which aren't a straight swap)


My truck is a 1966 Chevrolet (I know boo.... no GMC but it's getting a built up gmc v6! So don't worry) C20 long bed.
I have access to an 8 lug front axle and leafs for 175 so I just need steering components, drivelines and small stuff.




Thank you for your input!
