If I were going to go that route with my K5 I would use a Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited (4 door frame). They are ROBUST and have full modern coil spring suspension with unlimited bolt on upgrade possible. Cut it to fit the wheel base of course.

LS swaps with JKs are easily done, so i would go with a L76 6.0 and 6 speed Auto. Prob look for Rubicon Dana 44s or if money wasn't an obstacle, Dynatracs. Id pron do vintage air for LS swapped trucks and dakota digital gauges.

custom built cage and like I'm going to use on my K5 JK wrangler seats, some people hate them but I drove my 2015 all over the country and never had an issue with comfort.
