Just swap the motor and body to the solid axle frame.... or take the ifs off your runner, weld in hangers and swap it that way. Easier just to swap body's and motor imo.

What you would need:
Solid axle (with brakes, rotors, etc.)
Leaf springs
New steering (except for the original steering box on the IFS truck)
Front springs mounts for the leaves
Rear shackles & shackle mounts for the leaves
Shocks
Shock mounts
Long travel/high angle front drive shaft.
