I have a 1972 Olds Vista Cruiser here in Texas and had thought about the same idea. My thoughts were this, finding a wrecked Bravada or even a Cyclone or Typhoon, this would give you the transfer case and transmission and all the front suspension items. Instead of throwing the body onto a truck frame, incorporate the truck suspension and drivetrain pieces (minus the enginebecause you'd want at LEAST a Rocket 350 under the hood) into the original car frame.

I have worked out some of the details and after I get a couple of other projects completed, I am seriously going to look into the feasibility of this working.
