Dont throw ANYTHING away until the build is complete. Other than that, you will probably be ok. Use new body mounts and bolts. Label all wires. Use ziplocs and a permenant marker to keep nuts and bolts in order. Save all usable parts, even if you think you might not need them. I am unsure of the body mounts lining up, so do some measuring before you tear into it.

I echo ChevyMan's comments on not throwing ANYTHING at all away from this project, until at least a few weeks after you've complete. Even within the first few days of converting, you'll probably ask yourself... "shiznit! What did I do with that wifflesnarget?" ;)
