I was wondering if it would work to cross a Solid Gold and Gold Rush Pumpkin. Solid Golds are growing great and are consistent 20-25lb growers but dont have the thickest stem

They are both C Pepo they will readily cross.

i will consider it on some later flowers. How many years does it take to get signs of hybridizing?

You can get hybred vigour first generation.I'm growing three plants this year that are phat jack x 154 orr. They are much nicer plants than either parent were.I would have to self them three years to get a consistent new cross.
