Why not start with a longer wheel base 1-ton with dual wheels? A bunch of them were already 1-tons that you would just have to add the 4wd stuff to.
That's another future project, just not 4X4. I've got a 68 GMC Suburban that I bought for parts. I'd like to build a crew cab dually 1-ton out of it and a 157 inch frame. I was planning on a short wideside box on it with fenderside fenders to cover the dual wheels. For an engine I think a 6.5 TD would be kinda different and get decent mileage....or at least reasonable for a truck this size. This one would be used to pull an enclosed trailer.
