I contemplated it but in the end it was goign to be more fab work than my first frame off really needed. as it was it still took me 3+ years.
anyway i run a fj62 rear axle under my fj45lv it is something like 2.5" wider over all and I had some stock wheels widened and 5,25" back spacing and the tire/wheel/ axle combo is now the same width as a stock setup. so a long story short you would not have to widen or change the width of the body to fit on the 61 frame. you would need to relocate all of your body mounts but if you are a competant welder and don't mind grinding it doesn't semae like that would be a deal breaker. maybe consider adding an inch body lift to have things clear a bit smoother.
the biggest issue with be how the front all goes together and you won't really know until you start it.
good luck

Almost a direct bolt on.
There are some very detailed pictures showing the alignment and fit issues. Unless you are actually doing it, some of the pictures will not make sense.
