I really couldn't find the "right" spot to post this, so this will have to work. I've got a very rough '73 Chevy Cheyenne 20 LWB 4x2 with a 350 auto, air, power steering and power disc brakes. The body is...crap! The only good, salvageable bits on this are a super-nice hood, tailgate, grille assembly, front and rear bumpers, and the cab. Bed is useable for a rough driver, or for a trailer. Here are my thoughts:

The truck is a driver, but it's just too far gone to sink any money into. I'm looking to swap a '60 - '66 Chevy or GMC body onto the later frame. The fact it is a 3/4-ton with discs make this a good move, to me, so that the early body will have a later frame with disc brakes already there. Parting the '73 out of the good bits that would not be needed for a swap would be pretty easy. My concerns:

1) Do the body mounting points on the early trucks line up reasonably with the '73 frame?

2) Anyone know of a truck running around that has been built as I'm wanting?

3) I have a pretty good idea what my vision on this is, but if there is anyone with hands-on experience with this type of swap, I'd love to hear from you! Please PM me here, if you would...thanks!
