Take the body off a four door chevy Tahoe (wheelbase 117.5 inches) and put on the body of a "70 Monte Carlo (116 inches).

Independent suspension all around, with full time all wheel drive.

Replace the 5.7 V8 and 4 sp auto with a Falconer v12…essentially a chevy small block V8 with four extra cylinders…and the heavy-duty 5 sp Allison auto found in the Duramax diesel.

Lower the suspension so that it looks like a car with a normal suspension and NOT a car on a truck body.
