I have posted on this before. Check the wheelbase lengths for both donor vehicles. I have seen a completed conversion that was done on an LJ80 chassis that had to be extended to suit the MightyBoy wheel arches. It had a custom floor pan to fit the North - South engine & transmission (Firewall mod too). The Sierra offers a better driveline & chassis & is a little longer & wider than the LJ80.
I had been considering doing something different on a LWB chassis

I have gone down this path, combined my mb with the lj80 chassis. The engine starts and runs and brakes work from the MB cab but can't get the steering set up to work well yet. Will post pics if interested.

Will do, but you'll have to wait a week or so. No Internet at home at the moment and I can't seam to get pics off the phone to upload.
