Body Swap

So today I bought an awesome dump bed C-30. Its a cool little truck but the body is rusted bad. I already had a 1959 GMC. My question is will the 59 body fit on the 69 frame? Might make for a cool hauler. If the 59 wont fit any other years as options if I find a straight body?

Re: Body Swap

That might come a bit closer to just bolting on than the task force cab and nose. I think I'd hunt down a 69 or close to it cab and swap cabs though.
