Cool 72 C20 to K20

Hi Im new to this site and I have a 72 c20 cheyenne with 30,000 original miles and 3700 on a rebuilt 350 and 3 speed auto tranny. This is my first vehicle and I love it but I really need a 4wd. I dont want to cut and ruin anything so I was wondering if its possible to convert it without any major fab work and make it as if it was a factory 72 K20. Maybe a donner truck of the same year? Also has rear bags and dont know if that will cause any other problems. I dont want a show truck but not a work truck either. This will be my everyday driver to highschool so i need relibility. As I said before I only want to do this if its possible to use original parts and if I must, rebuild them. Thanks and I hope this site will help me.

The link with the donor frame and clean title might be the best? or easiest.
