The tail shaft on the tranny is different... Meaning you need a trans too... If you swap the driveline over from an f150 and the axles on the f150 are wider so your tires are going to stick out (axles can be narrowed but cost some $$$) what your wanting to do is alot of fabrication, not saying it cant be done but its alot of work
