I'm thinking that the mounts show that someone did a quick and nasty engine change in it. That doesn't happen to be a 235 or 261 rather than a GMC engine?

I agree. GMC engines mounted in the center of the crossmsmber. Chevrolet engines have mounts on either side of the crankshaft.
I'd love to see more pictures of the boom and winch. I see a manual crank... is it also powered by PTO? There's a hydraulic brake assembly to slow or stop it... Is that park brake lever connected to a master cylinder? very cool stuff.
For the axle a Dana 60 or 14 bolt corporate axles are both good choices. You may want to look for axles from a cutaway van chassis instead of a truck. I believe they are narrower. Also, the 2003 and newer G vans have a bolt-on spacer that allows a single wheel front end to use wheels for the dually. If the dimensions work out you would be able to run only one type wheel.
These are some axle dimensions for a 98-2002 ish van.
