Thumbs up Body swap possible?

So I have a 1989 (first gen) 4runner with auto trans and 3.0. I have been restoring the body with the intent to swap it to a 1996 3.4 manual trans 4runner frame. Now if that swap is too hard or impossible I'm open to getting a first gen 4runner with manual trans and 22re.

I don't have a welder or a ton of fab experience. I'm getting close to being done with the body resto and want to know which option would be my best bet.

wheelbase is different i think.

if so you will need to swap the 3.4 running gear to the 1st gen.
google it.

3.4 is a great motor.
