I would look into a C-10 from 71-72, frame width on both should be 34", and frame height will be the same. If track width is too much to your liking, check with CPP I belive they have A-arms that reduce your track width. I have that same frame section under my 58 fleetside and it works great, also on my 55.2 suburban, since I want to bag it I may need to get different A-arms due to track width. Just my opinion though. Cheaper and easier to get parts.
