i don't know if that can be done, its a good question , i think the dodge frame is too wide.

i know guys have used the coil spring setup and dana axle from new fords on chevy frames with some dodge components but a whole dodge chassis under a chevy i think would be a first.

eh go for , take many pictures Thumbs Up!

Do you have a buddy that does alignments and/or collision repair? Those guys have (or should) fully dimensioned frame drawings so they can bend things back to spec.

3" wider is only 1 1/2" each side so it sounds completely possible to make it work

all you can do is put the body on the frame with the motor/trans installed and then adjust from that point where your mounts go and how you will make room for a intercooler for the diesel turbo if you do go with a cummins powered truck, i would use a older 12v though, much less work trying to get everything to work together
