Its a little more work at the beginning but may be cheaper and pay off in the end.
This would not be possible without fabrication work. It has been looked at and abandoned by at least one member. The lower balljoint is completely different on the GD chassis cars so the knuckle will not just bolt on. The CV shaft splines are actually the same, so that is not the issue. But getting the knuckle bolted on is the problem.

Search around and you might be able to find the thread about it.
