Question frame swap

I have a 1969 gmc 3/4 ton lwb with coil spring trailing arm setup. I would like to swap the truck over to a newer style frame with leaf springs and disc brakes. I know I could drop the body on a 71 or 72 frame, but I was thinking about using a 73-87 frame. Is this do-able? The 73-87 would be easier to find (at least in these parts) and probably easier to find the tranny and gear ratio I want. Any help greatly appreciated.
