It could be street driven reistered historic or,like in Maryland,as a street rod.But...I think you still may draw alot of attention from Johnny Law.It`s cool to look at and fun to drive,I`m sure

Actually, 2.5 tons would work. It would still be stupid tall with no suspension flex, horrible driveshaft angles, not to mention it's probably open diff front and rear. Check out http://www.ouversonengineering.com/

They make 2" diameter 47 spline axleshafts for the 2.5 ton Rock. Pure beef right there....plus a lot of other cool stuff for Rocks...8x6.5 conversion hubs, wheel brakes, pinion brakes, etc.
