83 Parts Truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 87 V2500 4wd with dump box (standard 8 ft box with dump) which runs well but the body is rough. I also have fairly nice 92 4wd extended cab which needs a new 700R4 trans. I am looking at an 83 4wd short box less engine but has a recent rebuilt 700r4 for $1,000. The body is in pretty good shape for a 83 so I am thinking of maybe dropping my 350 with TH 350 (which is fairly new) from my V2500 into the 83 and maybe replacing the 1/2 ton axles with my 2500. Then installing the 700R4 in to the 92. Any thoughts?
