Hey folks I'm a newbie on hear. Question I have a line on 80 c3500 narrow dually. It has no box. My question is does the c3500 have same frame as 1500? Could I take a rear diff and box off c1500 . Would it bolt rite up and line up or?

The 3500's have a taller frame but the bed should bolt up. The rear end would not. The spring perches are in different locations, you would need a rear end out of a 1 ton (I'm pretty sure anyway).

Cab & Chassis (narrow) trucks also used a slightly longer wheelbase and the bed mounting holes were not punched into the frame.
