Default convert keyless drill to keyed?

We have a 1/2" skil corded drill with a keyless chuck. Is there a way to
convert it to a keyed chuck?

Thanks.

Once you loosen and remove the screw inside the chuck, you have to
remove the chuck from the shaft. To do that, you may have to put an
allen wrench in the chuck, tighten it down, and rap it with something
heavy. Sort of like was suggested for the screw in the chuck. Except
CCW iirc. (You can tell that by looking at the threads inside the
replacement chuck.)
