Cutting and sectioning a frame is not something I'd recommend to anyone who isn't an experienced welder. Why is the 91 a parts truck? bad title? major damage? What about just fixing it up and selling the 92? Even better if the body and bed are bad on the 91 find an extended cab 150-350 and swap that body and bed onto the 91, less headache and you can still sell your 92 to offset the cost.
To give you an idea on what can be done with time, creativity and a little money: my Porsche was originally a 1966 912 4cyl car. It now has been converted to a 911 with a 1983L 3.0 6cyl. I used carbs from a 2.2L 6cyl and put in larger venturis and jets. I used a 71 911 trans because it fit best. It has tie rod ends from a turbo, front and rear suspension from a 90's 911 Carrera, flairs from a early 80's SC and a 1974 IROC body kit. "S" brakes front and rear. It weighs 1850 empty, makes 200rwhp and goes like stink. I collected everything on ebay, enthusiast forums and swap meets.
If you have a car to drive during the process this could be a really fun project.
