I dunno Dan, I'd probably study both ways. My first thought would be to see if a modern pickup chasis might fit with minimal modification, thereby bringing with it modern brakes, suspension, tranny, driveshafts/halfshafts, etc. That failing, I'd look at what AWD cars could be found for cheap then perhap adapt the critical components piece by piece. I suspect the former way might be easier and cheaper, and just eyeballing it, a short to medium bed, king cab pickup might just be close to fitting.
