A friend of mine bought a 67 camaro, he actually mounted that on a blazer chasis for 4 wheel drive, that to me was such a waste!! but it wasn't my ride , I think that mounting the vista body on the existing chasis is the way to go, just weld in the body mount brackets etc , I guess the key would be wheel placement, and width even if you had to use say an s-10 etc , on the other hand I have seen many an el camino that has been converted, and i imagine the same process would work for the vista cruiser, excuse my ignorance on the same vein of thinking, are there Olds wagons without the vista roof? I think i saw them but would love to someday find a 69 cutlass type...
I always thought ( dreamed) of making a panel delivery out of a wagon ( albeit it was buying a lemans wagon and converting it with gto parts, I would leave the back doors and shave the handles...
anyway would love to see the results of your conversion...
one pick of an el camino conversion i found is below
