Is it possible to combine a King 2b slide with a 3b bell section? If so, how is it done? Thanks.

Swap the bell or slide tenon. The 2B+ slide/bell are the same size as a 3B, though. The regular 2B is smaller

Are there any other modifications that need to be done besides swapping the slide or bell tenon, ie gooseneck, tuning slide, leadpipe?
I am considering getting a 2B slide for my 3B bell.
Thank you.

Where you just able to attach the 2b slide or did you have to replace the bell?

2B slide tenon was replaced to fit 3B bell section.
