55.2-59 subframe question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Didnt want to hack my frame but seems like thats my only real option to solve my issues.

My question is, I have seen tons of car clips spliced in but I want a truck and keep it 8 lug 3/4 ton.
Has anyone spliced the front clip from a newer pickup to the older ones?
or should I just swap the whole frame?
If I splice just the front clip there would be no issues with cab mounts and bed location. Only radiator mount location.
