new to this side cab question

[JointTech]

Hi- im usually on the 67-72 side but have a chance to pickup some 56 parts.
I have a line on a 56 suburban rolling chassis as well as a 56 (i think) truck rolling chassis with everything except the cab. fenders, bumpers, hood, motor and trans etc.
Its free except for the massive amount of space a dead project in my garage will take up if this fails .

so the quick question is how interchangable are these trucks?
If I get a 58 cab will it fit any of the 53 to 59 fenders/frames?

a 58 cab will fit on 55-59 2nd series chassis

55.2-57 are the same frame. 58-59 are 3 " longer in front of the front crossmember because the fenders and clip are longer. Front clips are basically interchangeable except hood hinges are different between the 55.2-57 and 58/59. Cabs are the same, except for hood mount and battery box location.
