I have a complete 1978 C10 LWB with a rusted out body and a 1966 LWB Fleetside with a good cab and bed. How hard to you think if would be to put the 66 cab & bed on the 78 frame? I like the looks of the 66, but I want the upgrades of the 78.

I think it would be easier to upgrade the '66 chassis. I've got a '66 fleetside with a 350 crate motor, 700R4 overdrive tranny, front disc brakes, power steering and vintage air. All the comforts of a modern truck. You can see it here:
