What are my frame choices - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm working on a '67 SWB. My plan was to use the subframe and front suspension from an '86 Suburban, but when I got the original subframe removed, I realized that the frame itself is badly damaged. Taking it to a frame shop might be an option, but I'd like to explore donor trucks/frames. Ideally, I would like to find a truck that already has 5-lug, disc brakes, V8/auto drivetrain, etc. What are my choices? Would the '67 cab and bed fit on a '73-'80 or perhaps an '81-'97 SWB frame?
