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?

A quick guess would be No...
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else
