Putting a 60-66 body on a 71-72 frame wouldn't be that big of a job. They are real close in configuration, so there should be only minor issues to deal with. I've never done what you're asking, but I'm familiar enough with both frames. A couple of issues that come to mind are (1) the front frame horns are different (2) I think the core support mounts will have to be moved (3) if you use a 60-62 cab you will have to extend the front cab mounts on the frame.I have put a 62 body on a 76 frame and that was a PITA
