I am looking at buying a complete running w-200 for converting my w-100 into 3/4 ton. Both are 318/ 4spd. Both Longbed. I will be swapping the springs, axles, motor, trans (both are NP-435), etc. My questions are:

-Are the frames the same thickness/ shape?
-Will the springs bolt up?
-Will the steering arm bolt up?
-Will the u-joints bolt up (I have 8 3/4 rear, Dana 44 front, and the new one is Danna 60 rear/ Dana 44 front)
- If the u-joints don't match, can I modify my (brand new) driveshafts to match?
-Can I remove the engine with the tranny?
-Is the steering box and master cylinder the same?

My California w-100 is rust free, has mopar orange original paint that truly shines. 160k miles. I will be selling extra parts if I do the conversion.

Mike

Thanks!!!!!!!
