94 to 74 F150 body swap

I have a 94 F150 mechanically its great but my body is shot. I was wondering if it was even possible, without totally customizing, to put an older style F150 or F100 body on a 94 frame?
The idea in my head would be to have an older classic looking truck without having to start over.

If you think your 94 is rotten, wait till you see a 70s truck that has 20 more years on it

Anything can be done, it is just a matter of how much work you want to go thru. Cab mounts are dame near perfect match. The radiator support is another story, The you have to figure out the wiring. The 94 is EFI so you will have an ECM and alot more harness to deal with and very little room to mount it in a 70s dash. But you can always swap in the 90s dash, but again, how much work do you want to do

94 to 74 body swap

ok this might be a dumb question. what if i fix and leave the body the same but change the front end, headlights grille etc. so the front would have that old school F150 look but i wouldnt have to modify everything. Right now I swapped in a solid axle and have a 347 stroker thats carbed.
Like i said im kind of just kicking ideas around before i start with restoring the trucks body. I do appreciate the help

You can NOT graft the 70s nose onto the 90s truck. 2 completely different body styles. Not even close
