Welcome from southern Mississippi. The wheel bases of the 70 and 96 are different. I am sure it could be done, but you would be doing alot of mods. Body mounts, bumper brackets, adapting the dash/electronics to the old cab. I've thought of it myself alot too, but I need to finish my current project first. Good luck if you try it and make sure you let us know how you do it.
