Brad, with a good cutting torch, and welder, some extra metal, and lots of
bondo, anything is possible. If you thought about it, you have already started
the engineering faze of the project. The biggest part of the project, would
be to redo the body mounts, but again, if you can fabricate, anything is
possible. With the help of several steering shaft u-joints, the steering should
not
be that big of a deal.
Check the overall wheel base of the donor frame. You might have to do some
relocating of the rear axle, and springs too.
Good Luck,
