Another way is do the full IFS frame from a Chevy S-10 pick-up. Lots of rusty trucks to get a donor frame, and not too costly.
That way no geometry issues, just adapt the body mounts. It also gives you lots of engine/trans options and the plentiful selection of aftermarket wheel/tires combos.
One friend put a Suburban frame/suspension under, two put S-10s and another an International 4x4. Depends on the look you want after. All put SBC and automatic trans.
Good luck on your project.
