If it is done properly,...yes.

The only way to repair a split or weak frame is to fish plate it. What this is, is a series of 1/4 in. steel plates 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch shorter than the height of the frame rail. The first plate is arc welded on the frame with a continuous bead on all 4 sides a minimum of 2 inches forward of the damaged area. The second plate is then welded over the first plate covering one inch of the first plate.The same for each 2 inch plate until the damaged area has been passed by 2 inches. The reason we call it fish plating is that when it is done, the repair area should look like a row of fish scales.

yes and no. the cab is the same other than the front cab mounts. the front frame mounts for the cab would have to be removed from the original frame and put onto the 79 frame. however the rest of the frame will be allmost exactly the same other than power steering ect. other than that you would just have to re drill the 79 frame for misc brackets and what not to accept the original 67 brackets ect.
