Default 79 and 85 f150 ext cab long bed

I've got 2 f150s that currently don't run. One is a 79 and one is an 85. Both are ext cab long bed 2wd. Just wondering what I can do with them to make a hunting vehicle or something fun to drive around. All options are open! Maybe make 1 truck out of it and make it 4x4 or something idk. Let me know what yall think

You didn't give much info to give you much help, but there is quite a bit of difference between 70's and mid 80's trucks. The '85 is computer controlled etc.
The general consensus on converting a 2wd to 4x4 is that you are better off, ($, time and effort), just buying a running 4x4 and forget about trying to convert.

What about parting both out? Is there any value in doing that or would it not be worth the time
