79' TO 92' Body Swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Howdy all!!!
I have a badly rusted 79' C10 LWB 4WD. I have access to a cheap ($500) 92' 1500 Extra Cab w/complete interior & Short Bed.
Can I put this body on my LWB 79'?

I saw in the Faq that similar swaps had been made for the 67' to 72' trucks, but nothing for my swap. Most people where I live tell me to just stick my motor in the newer truck, but I want to keep the solid front axle, and the 79' has been in the family since new, but I need more cab room and I can't justify the cost of having 2 trucks.
Thanks for any assistance.
