1958-1996 Chevy width

I saw a ? about 73 to 90's width and didn't want to steal the thread. I have a 96 Chevy truck, runs and drives great, got totaled due to being sideswiped. Does anyone know if the body width, or track width is about the same for a 58. I have access to a 58 truck with a trash frame. It may not be worth it to try a body swap, but if a cool old body would work on this truck it might be worth looking into.

Re: 1958-1996 Chevy width

try gmupfitter for specs on the newer truck. try searching this site for "58 apache frame measurements"and you will find a blueprint there. the 55.2-57 frame is a bit shorter out front of the rad support otherwise same as 58-59.
