56 Chevy frame frome scratch?

I bought a 56 Chevy pickup with no frame. I plan to use a Camaro subframe and rear end. Has anyone here built there own frame? It should be prety easy, but I was looking for any ideas in case I forgot something. I have all the mounts that were cut off the original frame. The PO was going to put this on a mid 80's 1 ton frame. I was looking at using 2x6 steel .120 wall, and 2x4 steel behind the rear end. Maybe use the Camaro rear, or 70's 1/2 ton springs with new mounts and shackels. I would need to check the arch for hight. This would onle haul lawn chairs and coolers. If anyone has done this can you post pics and info? Thanks.
