Maybe I'm missing something but one of the trucks is already a 4x4. And what you want in the end is a 4x4.... so why re-invent the wheel? Put the best body on the 4x4 frame and it will be much easier and cleaner than hacking the 4x4 parts onto the 4x2 frame. Plus I always thought that the 4x4 frames had taller c-channel sections in the middle part of the frame to make them stiffer.
