60-66 C10 Suburbans and Panels share the same chassis with a 115" wheelbase. 60-66 C30 Panels are very different.

60-66 C10 Short wheelbase pickups share most of the chassis parts with C10 Subs & Panels. C10 Long wheelbase pickups (127" WB) share a lot of the same parts but obviously the frame rals are different.

The front end on a 1960 - 1962 (and 1963?) Burb is different than on any other year. I am not sure if you could put, or what type of different front clip, you could put on a an early chassis.
