Yes the bodies are the same. the 3/4 has thicker body bushings but the dimension change is in the frame not the body. If you are using the 1/2t frame use 1/2t body bushings

Re: 3/4 body on 1/2 frame and running?

my idea was to put the nice body off the 3/4 i have that has no motor on my 1/2 that im putting a built small block in,and doing those spring spacers like 2" of lift and running 31's or so(its a longbed).
i just thought it would be neat and different.
