Frame Swap Questions?

[csdineley]

Hello

Just brain storming something I was talking with a co-worker about today. So I have an 87 3/4 ton as my Daily Driver. And an 86 1 ton as a parts truck. And we were talking about swapping the two frames. The frame on the 1 ton is in better shape and has the 14 bolt ff rear axle, but the cab is really been cut up and in bad shape.

My questions are:
My truck rides pretty rough as is, how much worse would the 1 ton ride?

How hard would it be to do the swap (mainly the wiring and fuel lines is what worries me)?

I have both titles, could I register and swap my lic plate to the 1 ton. Put the 87 cab and bed on it and run it as an 86'? I've read that's there a vin on the frame as well. And you can get in trouble if the cab and frame don't match?

Just wondering if it's worth the trouble.

Thanks
