WTB 61 Apache C10 Frame Sections...?

I bought a 61 Apache Short Box Fleet Side that was a basket case but I plan on resurrecting it nonetheless. Problem for me is the last owner cut off the front of the frame rails on both sides just ahead of the radiator support mounts. Would anyone have an old frame around from maybe a truck that was rearended that they'd be willing to sell me the front 12" of frame rail off each side? If that's not a possibility I would pay someone for a cardboard pattern of their frame and I'd just rebuild mine using that. These trucks are fairly rare here in upstate NY and I can't seem to find one ro just go look at for a pattern . So either or works for me, actual parts or a pattern or any suggestions for that matter. Thanks for your time. (The bumper and brackets in the photo are just laying there. I didn't line them up precisely was just trying to get a better idea as to what was missing...)

Can anyone confirm what years have the same frame? Also, suspension aside, is a C20 frame of the same year basically the same as thar of a C10 or are the frame rails larger?
Thanks, Dave

I can help you if DP can't. 1960-1962 are the same.

Frame Horns for 60-62 are different than 63-66.
