1959 Chevy Truck on Envoy/Trailblazer Frame

Has anyone had the opportunity to put a '55 - '59 Chevy truck body on a late model Envoy or Trailblazer frame? After viewing the early '50's Suburban that Hot Rod Mag did and the "New" '55 that Dyancorn had done by Lingenfelter, it seems like a logical choice since I am headed towards building a daily driver. I have an opportunity to purchase the entire 2002 frame including fuel tank, brakes and suspension for $800 delivered. See photo of donor. No wheels or tires included. Besides engineering the body to the frame, the only other heavy lifting will extending the frame from 113" to approximately 116". Envoy is 113" stock compared to the stock truck WB at 114" and I want to extend another 2 inches to get the front wheel properly located in front wheel opening. Any help is appreciated.
