Will my 2006 tundra access cab (4wd) frame interchange with a frame from a 2006 2wd?

    I bought an 06 tundra 4wd access cab and I found out the frame was bad. I got a new frame in mint condition for $600 with most of the parts still on it. This truck is the exact same year model, cab configuration, and trim level. The only difference is that the new frame is from a 6 cylinder model. Will they interchange, if so, is it as simple as moving a crossmember and or motor mounts? Or swapping the mounts to my new frame?

    My donor frame is a 2wd 4.0 v6. The truck I am swapping the donor frame to is a 4.7 v8. I have all the parts to swap from my v8 truck, as well as fab knowledge and a full shop with a lift. I’m not scared of a little fab work, but I just need to know what I’m getting myself into lol.

    Engine mounts are different on v6. Someone on here has done close to the same thing you are doing. Had to fab up new engine mounts. May do a bit of searching on here. I haven't seen it in a while.

    I’m going to do some more research. I’m hoping I can just make some new motor mounts. Or possibly swap my ones from my v8.
