I have never seen a LUV cab on a full size. People have done Toyotas, S-10's, and I think a Jeep or something like that, But never a full size.

Measure the wheel bases of both vehicles and see if you can match em up and make it work.

I have never measured the wheel base compared to a standard S-10 but i know from the S-10 Generation 1 (box style) and a K5 (Full size blazer) their wheel bases were 3 inches different, and like a couple inches on both ends has to be cut off to make it fit, but can be done really well.

So it is something you could still think about doing, just do a better job then what the guys did in those pictures.

I like the 70's El Camino in 4X4 style. There is a blue one on that linked page.
