Friend of mine wants to put one in a 1/2 ton forward control jeep. It would be an interesting conversion.

The 1/2 and 3/4 bodys are the same, so probably yes. But why? Everything would be overloaded including front suspension, drivelines, axles, etc. All the time and expense to end up with something worse than you could simply go buy.
