Anything is possible. The question is, "why"?

It is a serious amount of work to do this and basically you eed a donor truck to get all the stuff off of.  If you are going to have to get a donor, you might as well get another truck.

It is possible, but I would weigh the feasibility before committing.

Chack ebay for a rolling chassis, there is one seller on there who often has them, I am not sure who it is, but that are usually really cheap.  Then, set your truck body on it and call it good.
