1988 4x4 Ford Frames????

Hello,
I have an 88 F-150 4x4 frame and a F-250 4x4 frame and I would like to take the body from the 150 and switch to the 250, Does anyone know if the fames are the same? The 250 has a 460 in it and I was thinking it would be easier to switch motor, suspension, and drivetrain over to the 150 frame. I thought the 250 frame would be heavier duty then the 150 but I was told it wasn't so it peaked my interest. thank you!!!!

250 frame is thicker steel. If it were me, I'd swap the 150 body onto the 250.

Thank you for the answers, That was my original intention but I was told that they were the same frame. I think I'll go with swapping body's!!

Thanks again!!!
