fastest/best/efficient way to swap a good frame for my damaged frame

I have an amazing condition 78 c10 Silverado big 10 v8 shortbed. Zero rust, great running truck. but it has frame damage in the front. I talked to a frame shop, they said it would be a lot of a work to put it on a frame puller so I've decided against repairing the frame.

I've got a parts truck 80 model shortbed with a 6 cyl.

The plan is to tear apart the '80 parts truck down to the frame. Unfortunately I can't just use the suspension/brakes/driveline from the 80 model because I want to retain the original big 10 components off my wrecked truck.

So that means pulling each and every thing off both trucks to do the swap.

So I'm here seeking help and advice on how to most efficiently pull this off. Any tips on removing the cab/bed/front clip, perhaps while keeping as many parts together??? Any time saving tips? Words from the wise? experiences?
