Need expert opinions and you guys are experts

Been reading this message board for a while searching for answers, so please don't flame me. I have a 2005 Yukon Denali AWD that was totaled due to hail damage. I was looking to do a body swap to a 1955-57 Chevy 3200. Wheel base is right on, but I keep finding inconsistent track width numbers. I can't find the definitive way to measure the vehicles and take into account the gap between the tires and fender wells. I do not want the 4wd look when I am done and I don't know anyone who owns one or is selling one in my area. The Denali frame is as close to being "flat" as a modern truck could be. I don't expect anyone here to do my research for me, but can it be done without extensive frame modifications. I don't want to destroy the ride or suspension geometry, as I love driving this truck. After the last car i have decided that the next vehicle will be about comfort and driveability. EFI, ac and an automatic trans are a must? I have never done a classic truck before, but I have done frame off restoration on 2 muscle cars and helped on many others. I do have the tools and experience to complete a project of this size.
