I did a 42 chevy mock up 30 years ago with a 73 to 80 frame and set the cab section of frame on top of the newer frame with decent success (put it in the drop section). I didnt have the width problem since truck I used was a 42 2 ton cab and feders.

Never finished it since my main project was a 42 chevy 2 ton with 2 speed rear. And I kinda lost interest. Still have some of the extra pieces around.
