69 C10 front disc brake conversion

Would the front cross member with all the suspension and front disc brakes off a 77 to 78 corvette fit on a 69 Chevy C10. Would it be a direct bolt on? or It would not work. Any thoughts anybody?

Thanks,
Ramiro

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say this will not work, but anything can work with enough welding rod.

71-87 Chevy 1/2 ton trucks are your best bet. Direct bolt on with least amount of work. Get the brake booster, M/C, prop valve that goes with the donor truck and you have better brakes also.

Thanks for all the responses. Definitely won't be going that route then.

63-82 Corvettes do not have a bolt on front crossmember. No, this is nowhere near bolt-on.
