55-59 on 67-72 4x4 frame

Anyone ever do this. I know a lot of people do this with 73-87 frames. I have a 1971 gmc 4x4 truck and was thinking of putting my 1959 body on it. Any thoughts or ideas?

My suburban is sitting on a 71 C10 2 wd frame. Looking for a stock frame to switch it too.

These might give you some insight into what the swap will be like.

Anyone know the differences between a 67-72 k10 frame vs. 73-87 k10?
