Swapping bodys

I ve got 2 2001 Dodge ram 2500s.One with a diesel from southern georgia and one from michigan.The problem is the one from michigan has a little rust at the bottom of the doors and a color I prefer.The one from georgia doesnt have any rust but is a old work truck.Some dings and scratches a few dents.It runs great with all the aftermarket goodies.I think Im going to swap bodies.Any suggestions.

Yea! The doors can be fixed without too much effort. Or find a pair from the south. I have access to 98 quad right side that have been repaired.

I want to take the gas one with a little rust on the doors and put it on the diesel that has no rust.Just a little used up.I will have to fix the rust once I get the body on the diesel.
