If the wheel base and track width are the same or real close I think the only other major issue would be where the motor and tranny sit in relation to the fire wall.  I would think the 2000 would sit alot farther back but I don't know that.  Sounds like a fun project, keep us updated.

I bought a 63 short bed fleetside and already had some 26's but they won't bolt up to my 63 six lug because of that years style of hub.  So i bought a 2wd 2000 model chevy and am basically either gonna clip it, build it from the fire wall back, or put it on a jig and make my own mandrell bent frame.  From what i've measured the track width of these is actually a little narrower or close to the same.  now the wheel base is different but as far as the relationship with motor and tranny i haven't got that far into it yet.
