It's pretty much the same as upgrading a C10 or C20. The main difference with your C30 is that I believe it should have leaf springs in the rear. That will make it easy to swap in a '73-'87 10 or 12 bolt. Take a look here for a bunch of info on the front suspension and brakes.

There are a few more listed in the '60-'66 FAQ thread at the top of the page.

Yes the frame is the same in the front suspension area. Your frame may be a little different farther back since it is a C30. But then again it's been a while since I have looked under a 1 ton panel.
