Default Body swap

I was looking at my truck today and was wondering if there is anyway to swap out the existing body from my 90 F-250 with a crew cab, If I could find a decent cc how hard would it be to install it on my frame? And have it be a newer style such as 93 cab and front clip, I can shorten the bed since I'm already planning on doing that, my question is what would I need to make it work and would everything such as the 93 dash work for it? May seem like a dumb question, but I just want to make sure before I dive into this

It would be some work, I would utilize the CC frame and shorten frame at rear of cab to bed. So u would then have a short box cc.
I don't think u could go from reg cab to cc with reg cab frame ..... if so it would be a real monster of a problem

I was originally going to cut about 2 1/2 - 3 feet from the bed and cut the back off my extended cab, then add pillars and full sized door for the back row which would be made from the room left from the existing ext cab and cut out from the bed and just custom make a cc. But that might be a little easier
