Yes, I helped a buddy of mine do it. The only thing is that you have to build really tall body mounts or you have to raise your bed floor. It can be done though.

i have a 58' that is on a 70' 3/4 frame that i purchased that way. seems to fit fine. kaycee the front crossmember is really to wide in my opinion but other folks will tell you it will work. making body mounts is really easy.
