Sounds like you are living my dreams. Its not hard to shorten a frame. Just make sure you measure twice, cut once. The best way is to cut it half way down, then lenght wise, then the rest of the way down making a sort of lazy "Z". That way when you reweld it you make it stronger than a straight cut. If you plan to do all the swapping I'd go with the 86 frame and graft on the 60's body. That way you have the modern goodies underneath.
