Although, I think it will be easier to swap parts into the 87 honestly. Do they have vehicle inspections where you are?

No vehicle inspections in South Carolina.
Yep your measurements sound close to what I measured. 145" on the 01 & 131.5" on the 87.
Shorter overhang? Can you elaborate?
Here is frame dimensions for 87
