The width issue has more to do with what fits under the fenders than anything else. Unless you're talking about a real early Camaro the track width is wide enough that it creates problems. Some of the other IFS swaps cause similar problems.

The truck frames are very similar from the firewall forward, so there are not any real width issues from a frame standpoint that are not common to a 1/2-ton.

Will a Camaro clip work on a 1-ton? Some will argue the clip approach won't work on any truck. You need to start by defining how you intend to use the truck. If a lowered hot rod that has limited load capacity is your objective the Camaro clip may be a workable option.

Regarding the motor mount question, here is something to think about. Clipping your truck means cutting the frame off near the firewall and eliminating the front crossmember where the motor mounts.

So after clipping the truck, in addition to needing to create a mount for the front fenders you'll also need to create that front motor mount.
