Frame Choices

So I've had my 58 Apache Fleetside project in mothballs for some time now and need to get going again. When I bought it, it was already on a 3rd gen C10 frame which the previous owner had shortened and fabricated mounts. If I remember correctly the frame code indicated mid-70's. The truck is currently a roller with the cab and bed mounted. I like a lowered stance with the truck as low as practically possible, maybe coil over or air ride. The question is should I continue with the existing frame or should I head in a different direction? I'm wondering if the front is too wide to get it low, also does it make sense to ditch the leaf springs and go four link? Been doing research but keep spinning in circles, what's your experience?
