1963 to 1964 Frame swap?
Please excuse any ignorance on my part. Very new to these year trucks. I have an opportunity to purchase a 1964 C10 short bed frame very reasonably. The frame is a leaf spring rear suspension. I recently purchased a 1963 C10 that might have some frame damage. I recently purchased the truck and have not had chance to bring it home. Will the 1964 frame fit? Is it a bolt on? Thank you.

63 through 66 are the same frames.
Typically, GMC is Leaf Springs, and Chevy are Coil on Trailing Arms. Most prefer the Trailing Arm suspension.

I will add that a leaf spring chassis can be quite easily converted to coils and trailing arms.
