Is it possible to convert a 1997 XLT 3rd Door into a 4 door ? The one with suicide doors? I have not yet bought this truck, but I am on Sunday. I wanted a 4 door suicide with the 99-03 body, but couldn't find one for my budget. We are getting this 97 for $1400, It has the 4.6L Motor, auto trans. But it has a few minor issues, If you think this may be a bad buy let me know before I do something stupid, not really mechanically inclined.

Cons: Drivers window motor is out.
Does not blow cold air (Fella that owns it says it leaks) HEAT IS HOT!
Bad paint fading / scaring on drivers door / roof.
few small dings and dents, headliner messed up pretty bad, a few knicks in the seats... Odometer went out and has 244k miles on it as is now thou.

Well thanks in advance for any and all advice. Will try and upload a few pics for other reference.

Converting to a 4 door seems nearly impossible if not it will be a lot of work and money to do so. As far as cosmetics of the truck they can be fixed for a decent price. Only thing i would worry about is the high mileage on the truck. If i were you id wait this one out and find somthing with less miles, even if its in worse cosmetic condition. Just my 2 cents!
