747 Cruise Missile/JDAM carrier?
So.... if the USAF needed quick bombers, of the heavy kind....
Could this work? Wing racks might be doable.... I am not sure about putting in a bomb bay, though doing it ahead and aft of the wing and gear cluster might be doable.

The USAF actually evaluated a proposal back during the carter era, IIRC, of using widebody transportsd in the ALCM dispensing role--it came to nothing. I believe the plan was to have to have the missiles drop out of a chute from internal carriage. Brooks
