swapping newer frame under 37 1-1/2 ton

I am inquiring for my father who wants to upgrade the underside of our old family farm truck. He would like to know what newer 3/4 or 1 ton frame/drivetrain might be a possible transplant candidate for the 37.

Thanks gang! --Mike

We hope that this will be a "daily driver", but in all reality, it will be more of a weekend warrior....
