as long as you truck is not the rare today, "unibody" just change the beds ive done that on '70's and up stuff, other than the beds you may have to modify a few little things but its not hard, at least your truck has the gas tank in the cab right?, if it is the unibody your sol, you would have to change both the cab and the bed and im not sure the frame on the unibody isnt a few inches shorter, ive never messed with one
