Info and advice/suggestions please

Hello all,
Im new to this site and love the old c10's. I have been lurking for a year lol. I have been in the mini truck scene for a few years and currently have an 80% complete mini project now. However im thinking of switching to a C10. Im looking at all models up to second gen.
I really like the 60 to 66 more and have found 2 in great body condition that I would even consider going to look at. one is a 65 short and the other is a 66 long.
65 has v8 with a bad turbo 350. The 66 is tagged and running with a 283 and 3 speed manual.
im wanting to run a 250 inline 6 so these engines I will not need. Also note this truck will be bagged and bodied. So my questions are about the frame. My current project is a 95 S10 Ext cab. it will be sacrificed for the C10 with no regret. I already seen a friend of a friends 62 with s10 frame swap. It looks awesome. Just needs wider wheels to fill in fenders thry way I would like it to look.

1. My main question is for those of you that have used a s10 frame under a 60 model body. What size offset and width wheel do you run to have the real deep dished 22" wheels?

2. Or should I use the stock frame or get another frame? im wanting disc brakes and 5 lug instead of 6. Is it easier to replace frame or convert?

Any comments are welcome as long as they are constructive.
