After I quit beating off, and googled for you, it appears they aren't too different frame wise.

Still look like ****, unless maybe its a move or something like that. LOL


Hey, if you need duct tape, zip ties, or any bailing wire, you know us rednecks got you covered.
Redneck ingenuity.

No problem, hope you have a great day

You as well.

I went through everything relevant to your question. You can find a ton of squares sitting on newer frames, but they all have stock to the cab/body, or off road bumpers.

Just google square body on newer body style frame, and iterations of that.

The way the bumpers mount are 100% completely different. They are also curved more than a squarebody bumper.

I wouldn't say it can't be done, because it certainly could, but it would look very awkward. In my opinion anyway.
