Re: 70 c-10 4x4 swap
 
The only differences between a 2wd and a 4wd are a front axle and a transfercase. There are kits available to add the front springs to a 2wd. I would recommend using DIY4X. Buy the FGB52 kit and front shackle frame eye hanger kit. I know somewhere on this site someone has taken the measurements on where these parts should be installed. This should help with the worry of measurements. Next is the crossmember for the transmissions and t-case. Lucky for you, you have all the needed parts on the K-5. Your 2wd frame "should" have the holes already drilled for the 4wd crossmember. I hope this helps. Good Luck
