I think the answer is:
a) if I am a purist, it would be important. I am not.
b) if the frame is a '67 to '72 frame, it will mechanically fit.
Consensus is that the frame is '68 or '69 (based on front drum brakes).
although the cab "hump" needs to fit over the transmissiona and transfer case
and there needs to be an opening in the floor board for the stick.
c) title needs to be resolved
d) the frame really needs to be painted something other than yellow however, since someone painted it yellow, it is probably important to be definitive so as not to end up with a pink frame.
Paint it black.

frame could be a 70 also, if the cab was from a 350,350 will probably not have a removable floor pan"hump" if it was from a truck with a t-400 trans should have the removable high hump,you can just cut the holes in it where you need them,,,if it has no removable hump, you will need to cut the floor and use a high hump from a donor truck...and use nutserts to bolt it down, I have had to do this...
