Do the K75 and the K100 use the same frame?

Asking because I was thinking of getting a K75 someday but I like having the interchangeability possibilities. I think I'll just go with a plain jane K100 if I do anything at all. Also have a truck with the cummins 6bt and a jeep with a cummins 4bt. I like having spares that fit both since I'm a parts hoarder.

The frames are different because of the obvious, 3cyl engine is shorter than the 4cyl, but it doesn't mean that other parts are not the same or interchangeable...

Major parts directly related to the engines would be different, but a lot of the rest of the parts would have a good possibility of being interchangeable.
