I've been researching this idea for the past couple of days. The short wheelbase GMT800 GMC Yukon Denali is within 1 inch of the wheelbase of a 67-72 shorty C10. My idea is to find a rollover Denali that still has all of the mechanical parts operating. Strip off the body/Doghouse of the Denali and replace it with the setup off of a c10. The entire underside would be updated denali, you'd have the 6.0L engine, all wheel drive and the independent rear in a short, light pickup. The only problems I could see with it would be the width differences, if there are any as well as changing the mount points on the chassis to match that of the pickup. Sorry if this is a rehash, but I haven't seen much information on anyone else trying this out.
