I'm guessing because I can't spell speculate, that 66 back would be closer to bolt up.

If your skill level is up past 1 to 3 & you have access to the equipment why not mod it to something much later?? Not gonna be bolt up but do-able.

I would... See what your current frame configuration is and then hit a salvage yard looking for something in the 73 range to compare to. From there, find a cheap rust ventilated one on craigslist with all the current power goodies and swap from there.

Not considering you will be looking for a frame/suspension donor. Start with finding what will fit, then move forward from there. Getting a complete donor is usually less work from CL then from a salvage yard, unless you have time to spare scavenging parts.
