Default Body Swap...1991 on 1997

Hope this is the correct forum.
Can a 1991 Cherokee body be thrown on a 1997.
Just wondering if this can be done and if it would involve major problems.
Has any of the experts here, done or attempted this.
Thank you, this site is a great place for info and beginners.

dont really get what you areasking.......cherokees dont have a frame so you cant swap bodies.

you can however interchange body parts...but the lines wont match up the same.


first you must be a little more clear on what your asking.......

Thanks for the reply, ...
Well, I have a 1997 cherokee and am about to purchase a 1991.
The body on the 91 is much nicer, so I guess what I'm asking is, can the 97 parts, engine, drive line , etc be transferred over to it with out great difficulty.
My 97's body is worn out, so if I disconnected everything, would it bolt up to the 91.
Hope this is a little more clearer.
