Modern chassis and engine for 63 shortbed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

can someone tell me of a modern chassis that would pretty much be ready to roll under a 60-66 series shortbed? I've heard the mid to late 80's Blazers were a perfect fit but these are getting harder to find. Also, it may be blasphemy but has anyone ever fit a more fuel efficient Honda or Toyota engine and drive train in a mid 60's Chevy truck? maybe a better fit would be a modern four cylinder Chevy engine? I'm going for fuel efficiency here not horsepower! Anyone experienced in these matters?
