Converting a 2005 E150 to E250 or E350

I have a 2005 E150 Van, I want to convert the Van using a wrecked E250 or E350. It appears it should be a bolt on, and I would be using 2005 or newer donor. I'm sure others have done this, just looking to see what all is need to complete the conversion.
Thanks!!

If you put the body from your truck on a rolling E250/350 chassis you will have an E250/350, anything that involves using the 1/2 ton frame will not.

The suspension which a big part of what makes a van an E250/350 will not bolt easily to an E150 frame.

From ‘07 or so the E150 sits higher and has 8-lug wheels. Those might have more parts swap potential with E250/350s. I suspect, only suspect, later E150s use the E250/350 frame.
