You have confused the hell out of me there. Why would you need a second gearbox? Just use 4x4 running gear from, oh lets see, a Sierra 4x4??
I asked this question some time ago on the LB forum, and whilst it can be done (and has been - although not a Haynes) it is a lot of work, involving inboard shocks to avoid front driveshafts etc.
