I seen a TF truck on a 88-98 truck frame and it fit pretty well. it was on this site. thats a whole frame swap though so more headaches appear as you continue on. my 57 is sitting on a GMC envoy frame and running gear. way to low for somebody who wants a stock height look. kinda low for me too since I used the floor and firewall from the donor. there are guys who do a more stock height though. lingefelter did a 55 on a trailblazer frame, the Erod, if you google it you can see it.
I thought about newer but the frames get less straight as you get newer.
Got access to a 90's 3500hd but kinda wide with I beam axle and 19.5 wheels. Also got a 91 3500 but it to has alot of bends in it. To do the splice I need a 64 to 87 with 73 up being the best choice.
