55.2-59 Idea for a 56..

[62c30]

I'm probably going to end up with a 1956 3/4 ton big window that is complete and hopefully will run. If it runs and I can get it driving easy and cheap I'll probably run it for awhile like that but if I can't I have a 4.8 and 4l60e that is in a running and driving 2000 half ton. Question is since I haven't messed with a 55-59 nor have I seen this truck in person I was wondering if it's reasonably possible to maybe use the whole frame and suspension from the 2000. I know anything is possible and I doubt anyone on here has tried it but I'm just thinking out loud. I have a 52 that is an A frame style and I assume the 56 is similar. The 2000 has a ladder frame and with the steps on the 56 that might be a problem. Again I haven't seen this truck in person and hopefully it runs as is and if I did this swap it's probably several years away. Just asking for thoughts on it. Thanks
