Adding drawer to existing cabinet

There are new cabinets in one of my recent purchases.  The problem is that the cabinets on both sides of the stove are the 'wrong' kind-they are sink basin type instead of just base cabinets.  They essentially look the same, but the front is fixed on these, as opposed to having a pull out drawer.  

The space exists for a drawer, and my new tenants are willing to pay for the cost of converting.  They just want more storage space, and I understand because the kitchen is small.  I have looked, but been unable to find anything designed to convert this space to a drawer.  I am sure a kit exists, and it would probably be as simple as taking the face off this drawer area, installing rails, and then building out a drawer and putting the face on it.  Does anyone have any experience in doing this, or know if a kit exists?  I have looked online until my fingers are sore.

look inside one of the existing drawers to see if there is a company name, so you can call and order the drawer and glides.
