Putting a '60-'66 body onto a '73-'87 frame is a LOT of work for really no gain. In reality the trailing arm, coil spring rear suspension is superior to the leaf springs used in the '73+. Plus then you have possible legal issues with the frame and cab VIN's not matching. This frame swap has been discussed many, many, many times here on the forum.

I would bet there are people out there that would trade a long bed for short and even throw few bucks your way not to mention selling the C10 frame then. Its a pity you dont live close to me since I have a 63 3/4ton I'll be pulling the body off of this spring.
