Has anyone ever attempted to put a 56 cab and bed on a 1978 camaro frame? would this be possible?

Well first off the Camaro doesn't have a full frame. It has a sub-frame which is attached to the car. The rest of the car is unibody type structure. If you're new to all this and reading about Camaro sub-frame. What is being done is the subframe is being used from the Camaro and attached to the pickup chassis. For in inexperienced builder/welder/fabricator it can be difficult. There's a lot of measuring and I mean alot to do, if the subframe is off the truck won't track down the road properly. If you want to know anymore message me and I'll try to answer it.
