71 chevy 4x4 frame change - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bought a 1971 swb 4x4 last year. When I went to register it I learned the frame was not original. In fact, the DMV inspector told me it was from a 1974 Ford. Imagine my surprise! I am in the process of a frame up rebuild and have decided I should look into swapping out my Ford frame since I have the truck taken apart to the frame. I am having difficulty finding a factory 67-72 K10 4x4 frame so I am considering looking at 64-66 frames since the swb on those are the same as for 67-72 (115"). My question to you all is, will a 64-66 chevy 4x4 frame work for a 1971 C10 swb body? Any help is very much appreciated.
