converting 85 extra cab 2wd to 4wd

I have an 85 toyota 4wd mini and have access to an 85 toyota extra cab 2wd. Does any one know if my 4x4 parts will bolt up to the extra cabs frame? or is the 2wd a different frame and body all together.

body is the same... frame is a little bit differnt... however if you know someone who welds, then its not a problem to do the swap, as the 4x2 is an ifs setup and the 4x4 has a solid axle....

why not just swap the xtra cab onto the 4x4 frame, bob the front of the bed and call it good.

im sure that the mounts for the the body of the 4x4 and the body of the xcab would be in differnt places.. unless the 4x4 was an xcab as well
