Or you could drop the cab and bed on a dodge frame. I've seen someone use a 1st gen ram frame and I had planned to use a 3rd gen ram 2500 frame/suspension. The 3rd gen ram frame is almost perfect dimension wise for the cab. You just need to remove the old mounts and fabricate new ones right on top of the frame rails. The 63-66 cab mount locations are within 1/4 of center of the frame rails. The bed floor would need to be raised due to the frame kickup, or you could reverse zee the frame in the back. The 3rd gen ram frame is beefy too.
