I for one am not big on body swaps so I'd probably transfer everything over to the K5. I just don't like how the newer frames hang way down under the body. Again just my opinion. Look at 72duraburb's thread and you can see how one looks in a 72 burb. He has done a few and is currently doing his GMC but is a 2wd drag type build.

I just searched 72duraburb's build thread. So impressive - running the stock frame with twins.
And I couldnt agree more - the frame on the new trucks hangs so low it kills it for me w/ the body swap.
Shot him a PM as I am curious to know his motor mount set up. And he is running e-fans. Probably has to be done when trying to jenga a radiator, condenser, intercooler and trans cooler in the front.
Then keeping the stock A/C and running twins is blowing my mind. 800 HP with A/C...amazing.
