c10 frame under a 57 truck

i have a 57 chevy truck and a 1963 chevy truck. both are swb stepside truck. i was wondering if i could swap frames on them. im just in the thought process of it still, but i wanted to use ifs and trailing arm setup on the 57, and use the 57 all leafspring frame for a starting point for making my 63 a 4x4. i know the wheelbase is 1 inch longer (115" to 114") but i think i can work around that. it has the same bed and it looks like the body mounts at simular. and the frame is the same with apart.

i think it would be alot easier than trying to clip the frame with the camaro subframe i have.

ps i did try doing a search but i couldnt come up with anything other than the early advance design trucks wont fit them since the c10 frame is too wide
