Without serious modifications, I don't think you'll be able to mount the '56 on the '52 because of the body mounting location and body width.

totally different critters, and actually the 56 panel WB is 114", 52 prolly is as well

you can use any 55-59 short frame for a 56 panel if you have the panel body mounts and the frame horn extensions for the rear [which the pu doesn't have]

The frame horns are to mount your rear bumper...which btw, I have a pair if anyone is looking.
