Check out Jim's truck in the readers rides thread. That is exactly what he did and a bit more 8)

In this case a four door two wheel drive was never offered. Many had the desire for a lowered ride and four doors. Jesse James did a 2wd conversion and added a longer box to his rendition. A couple more did their versions too.
A lowered AWD version would have been a nice touch. Turbo it and have the traction needed to hook it up. That would have made a fun ride.

A lowered AWD Crew with a V8 would be cool! The old Typhoons & Cyclones are still some of the fastest trucks ever made, and yes they are fun to drive!
