Answer
David,

With the right fabrication tools, you can make most any body fit on another frame.

You need to get out the tape measure and see what the dimensions are on each body to see if the body mounts will line up.
Anytime you modify something like this, it will take some fabrication skills and some imagination to make everything line up.  You may have to weld some body mounts that will match up with the frame, and you need to make sure that the gear shifts and linkages will fit.  You may have to cut out the floor boards to get all the levers to line up.

This type of job is never real easy, just depends on how much work you're willing to put into this project.
