Body Swap

I have a 96' f-250 extended cab short bed with a 460 auto 4x4.
I just picked up a 93' f-350 460 5 speed 4x4 srw, it is a reg. cab long bed.

The f-350 has a rough body, but a good drive train and the f-250 has an near perfect body(good paint and no rust).

I would like to put the 96' f-250 body on the 93' f-350 frame.

Does anyone know of any problems there would be? Input is appreciated.

Won't like up like you'll want it to. Frame aren't the same length. Think theres something like a 3" difference. The extended cab/short bed is the one that's a few inchs longer than the reg cab long bed.
