74 f250 chassis swap questions

I recently bought a74 f250 with a perfect body , but its an f250 so im wondering does any one know if this body will fit a later model chassis say 95 or so? . im finding some off the chassis parts kinda hard to get pluss the ride is a lil rough.

anything will work if you are willing to fabricate mounts etc., it sure isn't a simple swap and go but I fully understand the desire

Engine position in relation to the firewall is different, and the rad support setup is also a bit different I am told...

well to tell the truth my biggest problem with this f250 frame is the front brake set up and 8 bolt hubs is it posible to swap out i-beams raidious arms and brake hard ware from a 78 f150 ? or will i have braket problems? the rear axle is no big deal.
