Is this even possible?

My boyfriend is thinking about combining the suspension of a modern full-size sport truck [like a silverado SS] with C6 Corvette brakes & Wheels..

Is this even possible?

Oh - and it's going in a 1966 Panel Truck. [with a 283 v8, if it matters]

Anything is possible with time, money, and ingenuity. Will it be easy? No...

It would be a lot better to go with Porterbuilt's C4 dropmember and back half. Very well engineered as long as you can source the Vette parts to support it (not too tough).
