It depends what you're wanting. The track of the 94 will be pretty wide, so you'll end up with a stock or wider stance on the front of the 49. It can be done.

Do you have any specific questions? Your inquiry is a bit vague to give any useful information.

I'm currently struggling with keep original frame and figure out brakes. Or switch to a different frame. I'm building a truck with 6 bt cummins to pull 10 k of machinery for my work. So I want safe first then power and looks

I think I've found my solution. I found a old motor home with an IFS under it. The frame on it is two inches wider. I think I might do a frame graft or graft frame in under existing frame

If you want to pull 10K of machinery and that is your main goal, I suggest you use a complete frame from something that is factory designed to carry that kind of wait. Just less variables that way.
