72 frame fit a 66 long fleet?

[forcedinduction]

Hi Everyone,
I have owned a 66 long bed fleet 3/4 ton for a few years now. Swapped in a 355 and a 5 speed, done some body work and have some big plans. After reading through this forum I have a question that I havent seen yet. My question is... Will my cab and bed mount onto a 72 GMC 'burban frame? A friend of mine has one with a body that has seen MUCH better days, basically shot. I started thinking about how nice it would be to have a 5 lug (for more wheel choices), discs up front and lower it. I am not looking to "bag it" but would like a little lower altitude and smoother ride quality. If my cab and bed will mount up rather easily it seems like a logical choice and I will soon be parting out a 72 GMC 'burban. Anyone have insite on this swap. Any and all help will be greatly appriciated. Thanks for your time. Dave

Your better off taking all the gear off the '72 and putting it on your '66 frame. Saves you the hassle of a body and engine swap.

I agree

Everything from that '72 will bolt onto your '66 frame. Also, when at all possible, it is better to keep your original frame that has the matching VIN number to your cab.
