that was done in performance car mag a few years ago, i think they have a website with build details etc so might be worth looking at.
Are you building a mini truck on air bags or something?

there use to be a chap here in gizzy that did crazy things to trucks. he had a surf body on a 2wd drive chassis and had a 289 mustang motor in it, then as another project had an isuzu mu with a p76 in it. so i guess can be done.
