Has anyone ever installed an IFS axle from a 1960-1966 Chevy truck onto a 47-54 Chevy truck frame? If so are they much wider than the stock straight axle?

This has been done numerous times before by builders and yes it is too wide in my opinion. It doesn't look right. Tires sticking out wide, weird offsets to compensate. I'd keep researching.
