67' to 72' cab on 85' frame?

I have a 1985 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 frame that I'm thinkin' about puttin' a 67' to 72 cab on, with a nice flatbed. I'm lookin' for any advice, or Pictures of a truck that has been done this way. I can't find a pic anywhere! Thanks guys!!!

The frame on the 85 kicks up under the cab, so you would have to account for that. I'm sure your core support would need different mounts too. A lot of fabricating to get it to fit properly.

I'm working on this now, I decided to cut the kickup out of the frame to make it so I wouldn't need a huge body lift along with custom mounts. It's not as direct swap as I thought, but I'll be happy when it's finally going down the road.
