A Suburban or full size truck maybe. They make subframe kits to get IFS and better brakes though.

Measure the wheelbase and post it someone might have an idea what might fit.

True. However, several here have discovered that there are less modifications involved when using a Dodge Dakota frame (crossmember interference is eliminated, etc). Poke around at some of the build threads[ for similar trucks, you'll expand your mind in ways that shouldn't be legal...and perhaps aren't![ddev
