I'd do a frame swap. More than likely you'll need the ECM (TECA) for a 92 diesel for the trans to work properly. There will be wiring issues etc. but things like clutch pedal and hole for the shifter should be easy. There should be a removable panel where the shifter goes and you should be able to swap the pedal assy from one truck to the other. This is assuming they are both the same bodystyle, I know the vans changed from 91 to 92 but I don't know about the trucks. Doing the frame swap will give you the heavier frame and should be easier than trying to swap engine, trans, axles, etc. Basically unhook and unbolt the bodies and swap from one to the other as well as the beds then you'll just have the chassis and body wiring to figure out.

I'm in the middle of a swapping the frame and interior from a 99 Explorer V8 to a 96 Explorer V6, there are a lot of minor wiring changes between those to years so I elected to swap all the harnesses as well.
