Is it possible to swap a 1986 2WD P/U frame with a 1987 4X4 Suburban Frame

I have a 1986 chevy scottsdale 2wd 1/2 pickup. I also have a 1987 3/4 ton 4x4 suburban that is used for parts. I was wondering if anyone knows if the frames are the same, so I could make my pickup a 3/4 4x4.

Just currious, cause i have this parts suburban laying around with an excellent frame and 4x4. I'll probably find a 3/4 4x4 p/u for the frame to do the swap, just wanted to check and see if the frame were the same before i find a truck.
