Steve I've not done this swap but have thought about a similar one. I recently found a partially parted out C4 Corvette offered real cheap and keep thinking I need to go buy it. I would put it under a '54 Chevy pickup if I were doing it.
My usual driver is a Corvette and the crisp precise responsive handling would be fun in an old truck.
A friend of mine who lives in Woodland, WA, has Corvette suspension under a '36 Chevy car and not old does it look cool, but he enjoys handling the original suspension could never provide.
I believe in building whatever you want and can afford. Go for it!
