Is it possible? I have been seriously thinkin about this ever since i went through my third or fourth set of wheel bearings. Kinda lost track. Anyways Im thinking about finding a bare 93 to 97 frame completely stripped of everything and swapping the body, motor, tranny, and rear axle over. If I get an extended cab frame from 93-97 will everything line up from the 01? I plan on either keepin the twin i-beam setup or eb44 sas on it. My main reason for this is I hate the sla ifs and if i get a 93-97 frame bare I can set everything up the way I want. Chevy 64inch in back, fully box the frame, ditch the body lift and either put on a suspension lift or sas it with less headaches. With this frame i will already have a steering box.
Main concerns are
Will my 01 edge extended cab body and box line up with a 93-97 extended cab?
Will my 4.0 sohc bolt right in along with my manual tranny?
Oh and the reason I posted this here is if I go this route Im 99% sure its gonna end up with a eb44 and I will post pics of the progress.
And for pic lovers heres the patient.
