79 to 86 Body Swap ?

My buddy has a 79 SWB 2 wheel drive, 350 auto tranny, Can he swap the body over to a 86 SWB 4X4, straight shift frame, what all would be involved?

I believe the floor for the 4x4 has a higher trans tunnel and will require some mods there but the rest of the swap should be really straight forward. Good luck.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.
