He drove it for years and used it for a long while after that to pull his fishing boat since the 4wd worked well for pulling up slippery boat ramps. Of course it DOES NOT FIT without making up custom mounts, adapting the steering, and many other things that are part of a body/chassis swap. I do remember he had to shorten the bed. He probably has pictures of the finished truck but not of the build process.

Alternatevely, you chould just adapt the axles and engine/trans/transfer case, and steering to the original '59 chassis, which will maintain the factory mounts and wheelbase.
