55.2-59 Question about 73 Suspension Swap on 58

[JimDirt]

A friend just told me that a guy in the area who does all sorts of swaps and custom work on older Chevy's (I have seen his work , its top notch) told him that if I got a 73 2wd 1/2 or 3/4 ton Chevy , that the front suspension would literally "bolt on" to my stock 58 frame by just drilling holes , and I would end up with stock Chevy independent front suspension without having to graft something there , and have all stock Chevy parts that are readily accessible at any auto parts store , along with the rear end being a direct swap width wise

Any truth to this ??

Should I look for a abandoned 73 to update my suspension ?? (he said 73-74 only , and it only fits 58-59) , as this would be way more cost effective for my budget than doing anything else , and would solve a lot of issues for brake and suspension parts for me , and I could actually start working on the truck and get it back on the road much sooner than I would otherwise be able to , I don't need "fancy" stuff , I just want the front end to be better than my wore out 1/2 turn side to side of the steering wheel to go straight steering box stock stuff I have now ..... All I would have to get is a aftermarket pedal assembly and a steering column (preferably a stock Chevy tilt w/ column shift)

Thanks .... Jim ....
