The simple way to solve the frame issue is to find a '63-66 C-10/20 frame and harvest the bumper ends off then weld them onto your frame. You will have to be careful with the re-attachment because the stock bumper bolts directly to the frame.
The easy way to harvest the frame ends would be with a battery powered 'Sawsall'. Wm.
