102.4" short wheelbase, 117.9" long wheelbase ('78 model anyway). Frame is lot's narrower than a C10, LUV axles are 54" from wheel mount to wheel mount, C10 is something like 66", so the body to frame attachment will all be custom and the tires will stick way out. Luv wheelwell openings are smallish, so huge tires won't tuck anyway. Seems like I once saw pictures of something similar to your idea, I think they attached frame and body atop the new larger frame with running gear.
