alot of work since the mounts on the two are totally different. you would need to weld the mounts up in the right position to do it.

Rob, I think that unless you have a special frame that you just have to have, I would look for an 85 to 96 chassis to work with. With some hard looking, you should be able to come up with one fairly cheap. I think 86 was the last year for the 9" rear.

What are you working on?
