I have know the frame can be cut and lengthened or shortened. This kind of frame has a C-channel back into a boxed front. That joint can be cut and the length modified. I thought the rear axle could simply be moved back, so that's how we went, and then add extensions to the front and back to lengthen the frame.
I had read about someone using plywood for the body mounts locations when doing a frame swap, another suggestion was metal. We had some issues with the metal template, interfering with the donor front suspension, modified that. Then the running board part was too narrow so we had to raise up the template. It got the job done.
