Frame Swap?????

I have a 68 GMC 2WD 1/2Ton longbox and was going to do the 6 lug to 5 lug conversion on it but the prices for all the parts I need in my area would be $400 to $500 and they are not readily available, So it got me thinking, I can buy a complete running 1988 or newer GMC/Chevy 2WD 1/2Ton pick up for $1000 or less. Has anyone ever did a frame swap and just put a newer frame under there truck. I think the newer frames wheel base is 6 inches longer but I can work with that. Dont know about the width though. I can do any body mount fab work needed. Was just wounder about a frame swap. Thanks for any help.
