Default put a chevy body on dodge frame

i have a 2000 gmc sierra 1500, and i was wondering how hard it would be putting it on a dodge 2500 frame, either reg cab long bed frame or ext cab short bed frame. i know i would have to weld new body mounts. but either way i want me sierra to have a cummins in it. some how.

It will be like buying a 747 for free peanuts,You could put a cummins in your truck the way it is with some work but its a lot less then trying to put a different frame under it.

its alot easier to put a cummins in it than switching the body out.
