Just my opinion but I would work with that frame. Just clean it up and replace the worn suspension parts. The rear trailing arm suspension makes for a real nice ride and is easily bagged if you decide to go that route. 67-72 frames are ok for this swap. Do a disk conversion on the front if its not already disc. Moving to a Paul Horton or any MII on that frame is a step backwards. Its putting a car IFS under a truck frame.
