swapping body parts between frames - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got a question about swapping parts. I have an opportunity to buy a 1985 3/4 ton GMC 4X4. I currently have an 85 GMC 1/2 ton 2WD. Is it possible to swap the front fenders and cab without mods? DO transmission type matter. The 3/4 ton is auto, the 1/2 ton is manual. I will retain the auto trans and just not use the pedal for the clutch. Is it difficult to work in the transfer case shifter. I assume I could do what I have done in the past and just cut out the hump and weld it into mine?
