I haven't seen it done, but I measured out my old 57 against a friends 97 chev 1/2 ton short and it was nearly identical in wheelbase and width. The frame under the cab is more narrow on the early trucks, but I bet the front suspension could be cut off a late model and swapped onto a TF. The rear axle would match the pattern of the front and be of appropriate width as well.
