It can be done.. will be a bit of work and you might need to speak with someone like Russel at syncronutz about it..

We did have someone on here that syncro'd a crewcab, but he no longer comes here!!!

You would really need to seriously think it through from start to finish!

Ive looked at this conversion many times and the cost would be the top end of four figures!!

The front aint that big a problem but to replace the chassis cross member at the gear box mount is a major piece of structural work!!!

I would best suggest start with a good Syncro and build it up to your needs all that other stuff can be fitted rather quite easily
