My truck is. '55.2 Task Force but I did what you are proposing. I THINK what I did could be made to work for you though I don't have a detailed knowledge of your frame I know it has a perimeter pipe frame where the Task force does not.

I had the frame sandblasted and powder coated gloss black. Removed all the springs (none were broken amazingly!) and replaced them with 5/8" plywood. Then used modern foam shaped to be waay more comfortable. I think it turned out looking great and it is very comfortable.
