Default cummins into a chevy

on of my friends is selling his early 90s cummins 3/4 ton for 2000 i was wondering would it be worth the effort to swap my body onto the cummins frame or swap the axles motor and trans into my truck how much work would it be do they sell wiring kits or is it pretty easy to wire up

Is your '02 chevy a 1500, 2500 or 3500? What motor and trans does it have now? 2wd or 4wd?

A straight axle swap and cummins swap is still far less work then swapping a body on a frame it wasn't designed for.for a 2500 or 3500 Off Road Unlimited Solid Axle Conversion, Convert your IFS to a Solid Axle a 1500 01-07 Chevy 1500 solid axle conversion kit motor mounts Page 11
