72 C10 frame Swap; Stiff ride

I've got a '72 C10 LWB pickup and the frame is crapping out, i found another frame to transfer everything to, but is there anything i need to know about doing this before i transfer?

Also my trucks rear suspesion is very stiff in the rear. Would simply getting new coil and shocks help? Or will i need to do more than just that?

Is your truck a half ton or 3/4 ton, leaf or coil spring?
