Track width question - '56 3100 on '61 chassis

Hello,

I'm looking at buying a project 56 GMC half ton that is sitting on a 1961 chevy half ton chassis. I would like to lower the truck as much as possible, and I'm concerned that the factory spec track width on the '61 might be a problem. The '56 normally has a track width of 60.5", whereas the '61 measures about 63 inches, or so the internet tells me.

I would hate to be in a situation where huge (expensive) changes are required to tuck the front wheels in a bit. Should I stay away from this one or should this problem be solvable with wheel offset or something else that won't break the bank? I really like the other upgrades that this chassis provides, but don't want to be limited in terms of getting the stance right.

Thanks so much for any help!
