How similar are the square frames to later model trucks?

Sounds like a straight forward swap is the route to go then. Glad I asked, one less thing to daydream about. haha

There is a member here that has swapped a newer frame and drivetrain under his 4x4 long bed truck. It looks like it turned out very well, but I'm sure it was a lot more work than your average LS swap. Pretty sure his employed a Duramax too.
