Re: 82 front suspension on a 66 questions
You can use the '82 motor mounts and frame brackets, but you will need a spacer on top of the frame and drill two holes on each side. Just like the pics that 63MOUSE posted. If you were to locate a pair of the frame brackets from a '73-'87 C20, you wouldn't need the spacer on top of the frame.
The alternative would be to use a pair of the original 230/250 I6 and V8 motor mount brackets. I have a few sets if you decide to go that way.

Re: 82 front suspension on a 66 questions
I went back and looked again and I see that they are very close to the right height for the frame. I think you could just trim the frame back about 1/2-3/4", drill new holes and you're done. You should probably check the center to center distance of the motor mounts, before you drill those holes. According to protrash64's build thread, that measurement should be aprox 16-3/4"
