Yea, that's a solid deal. 4wd is more desirable..

If it's an f150 with four full size doors, it's a centurion.

F250 with 4 full doors and short bed was factory

F350 was 4 door long bed

Converting is as easy as they come with these trucks!

The tranny and drive shaft(s) would need to be replaced from a 4x4 F-150

Your best bet would be to buy a truck with the same transmission as yours but a 4x4.
Ideally with a rusted out body and/or blown/worn out motor so it would keep costs low.

I see them up here for around 500 bucks pretty regularly.
if you do this swap right it will add to the value of your truck.
