Interchangeable body parts between 140/240? VIN placement?

VINs are stamped, and the 140 front end is shorter than the 240 front end. Some cutting/welding will be necessary.

On the flip side, a 240 front end can fit over a 140 "frame".

As the 164s have a longer wheelbase, that cannot easily swap over onto a 240 without even more cutting/welding.
