Just intro'd myself in welcome center, bought 5 vehicles at one, trying to figure out what to do. one (55 belair) was trashed beyond repair, so the body was hacked off and scrapped, so I have stock frame/265/glide/rear end. one of my '58 Apache LWB missing diff/leaves and the bed fenders beyond repair (tractor got into them good). previous owner was loose w/heavy equip obviously. Wondering if the '58 Apache cab would mount on '55 belair frame? I'd think if I'm not worried about a bed (I'd rig something), the cab and front cap could be addressed. I have welded a tad before and do have a wirefeed welder. Your thoughts? THANK YOU from Alabama.

If you go here you can search for and find the car and the truck manuals and in them you'll find the frame and body dimensions for your compassion... A quick guess would be No...

frame widths are different and the car frame has a very dropped center compared to the truck .... but then if you have the vehicles at hand, you can get out your tape measure and see for yourself, completely different animals
