Basicly what you have to do is have a complete donor truck and swap everything including your axles. So its either that or just swap the bodies out its your choice and depends on how much work you want to do

The frames are all the same? I know the mounts and holes are all there but is there any strength differences (thickness)? As far as swapping the rear axle goes do the spring hangers for the three inch springs use existing bolt holes on a 1500 frame?

I swapped into my 1500, no problems, but you will need the electrics off the frame, and the electrics with the motor... only 1500 component of the electronics will be the cab electrics...
