Frame questions

there is a opportunity for me to get a 79 ford bronco, pretty rusty. i would like to put a swb 78 model pickup cab, front clip, and bed on the bronco frame. Is this even possible? basically a bronco frame is the same as a swb pickup, right??????????????? Just curious how hard this would be. Pics would be helpfull also

lol well thats just my luck. I was hoping that the shortbed pickup and bronco were the same frame wise since the bronco is fullsize.

ive seen this done on 80s models, but you have to eliminate the gap between the bed and cab and shorten the bed about 6 inches. it looked pretty cool, and factory. there was just something about it i couldnt put my finger on as not being right until someone pointed it out.
