Its not easy but it can be done, I assume your going with 66 because you have one. If your set on a reframe then try mid 70's early 80's. Same basic frame as 66 but has the updated brakes, suspension and steel.

My '58 is on a '64 frame. I did not do the swap. It was already done like that when I bought the truck. So, yes it can be done. Take lots of measurements of mounting points and wheel bases and be prepared to fabricate brackets.
