Default anyone ever played with bodies

hey guys i have a strong runing 7.3 in a 90 4x4ext cab long box with a 5 gear but the body is rotten, just looked at an 89 f150 ext long 2wd, lookin to do a body swap, this truck is an auto with the low center cab, i know the standard tranny hump is bolt on, any thoughts on the holes in the firewall for the clutch cyl? also will the cab line up exact on the f2 from the f150? anyone done this before? and how about the wiring in the dash how much work to change it? thanks in advance for the help

being that close age wise, i belive it is all bolt on. the firewall is marked for the clutch slave, the wiring should be the same plug wise at the fire wall. biggest thing is the donor being an f150, u will need your core support. the f150 core support does not have the correct opening for the diesel rad.
