looking for suggestions

so I got this 1959 GMC. I have found a few things been looking a lot longer than I have owned the truck. Looking for suggestions. I would like the end result to be low (possibly bagged) looking at putting an LS engine in it or 350 who knows for sure.. Should I do a frame swap with a caprice? The truck is in such good shape I hate to cut it up too much but in the same aspect I want the truck that I want so Id rather cut if I had to.

Also its a long bed. If I do a frame swap I would have to make it a short bed I would think or extend the frame.

I'll have to pay someone to do the fab work so looking for best cost effective route. I can do a lot of the work but when it comes to fab/frame I would feel more comfortable with someone who knows what they are doing.

Thanks in advance,

Dave
