It can be done with some mods. I myself don't know the extent though. Send a pm to Mudder. He has done this and knows what it takes.

You need to check you wheel base. I know on the long box trucks, the newer trucks have a longer wheel base. The body mount locations are not in the same place. I have seen this done on a lwb truck, but it was by no means a show truck. I think the guy used it as a mud bogger.
