I had seen a thread on here about that a while back. I would imagine that it would take a lot of fabrication. Changing the fenders and headlights along with the wiring. But I'm not sure what all would be involved.

It would be a waste of time even if you had the skills to do it, the rest of the body lines would not even be close to matching

I agree. The 2nd and 3rd gen trucks have almost nothing in common other than the fact that they're both Dodge.

anything is possible with the right amount of time and money. Is it worth that time and money? I don't think so
