I measured my wheelbase and got 127" as well. As a sidenote I find it interesting that the shortest wheelbase on a new chevy 2500 HD (single cab longbed) is 133".

Another Member Did the Exact Swap you are Talking about, Used Later model 3/4 Ton Running Gear for His Conversion. I also have one in Project stage & Got these pics from him on how he mounted the Burb Body to Frame..........
You Need to move the Rear Axle forward 5 " & you will find that some of the Holes will line up for the Axle Brackets.........
Here is a Link to his Thread & He has been very helpful in answering my ??? so you may want to pm him for any additional Info..........

Burb on 3/4 Ton 4x4 Frame
Here are the pics he sent me on how he made the Body Mounts for his, Basically he Just sat the Body down on some 6x6's & Made Cardboard Templates of where to put the Body Mounts. I think it Come out to a 4" Body Lift that Way.
Also since the Frame is shorter in rear, he used an old Tube Bumper in the Rear to make up the Difference & Have a Place for the Rear Mounts. He stated that he used the Body Bushings from a 55 Nomad on this also, Just send him a Pm if you have any ??
