Re: 1971-onward C10 crossmember in 1958 ??
After reading dwcar's post, I see I worded mine badly. I didn't mean to imply that the swap was a bolt-in. In fact, I had no idea if it was practical at all. What I actually meant to say was that the crossmembers were bolted in on the trucks they originally came in, rather than being welded.
In any event, I am glad to hear that someone has tried it, although the degree of fab skill required would definitely seem to explain why this swap is as scarce as it is. This clearly closer to a full clip job rather than just a crossmember swap, and for the amount of work involved, I don't see where it offers any advantages over the more common Camaro/Nova clip other than maybe raw material availability or cost.
