Looking at options to bring my '02 back up to lookin' purdy.  Too much body rust to repair :mad:.  I found an '06 1500 with a bad motor/trans the body is in perfect condition no rust southern truck will it fit my 2500 chassis or do I need to find a 2500?

With most mods anything can be done if you have the money, time,tools, and ability.
I can only guess that things would not line up but mounts could be changed or made to make it work.
 
The inner fenders and Radiator support are different
 
Wiring is going to be different between a 1500 and 2500. If it was 02 to 02 you could probably swap it with little hassle, but putting an 06 body on a 02 frame all the interior wiring, gauges, controls computer, ABS etc. is going to be different and won't communicate.

If you could find an 06 2500 wiring harness and computer you might be able to do it..
 
What a pain in the ass, but take the 02 wiring with ya to the 06 body!
