Here's a link to build your own rear steer http://www.spidertrax.com/products/spider-9
Here's another for a stock option. Just look for a used Quadrasteer.

If you see a GM 1500 truck with 8 bolt wheels, it's got quadrasteer.
It was an amazing invention... A dealership by me rammed the rear into the building 3 times until they figured out the truck swung the *** around in tight turns.
A friend had one, said it backed a trailer up really awesome.

You come up to my house some weekend, I'll get my buddy's to come over, and we will do a redneck monster garage weekend.
It's all possible on a budget, you just need the right crew and parts available.
Plan it out, gather parts when they are cheap, build when you can.
I have a 36x60 welding fab shop up near Bangor, but I live in pa right now. It's tricky to get up there lately but it's an offer that I'd like to try and help with some day.
But for now, my knowledge will hopefully be enough.
Personally I think it will be fine turning without a rear steer. It's not like the old long frame Pete's were used for driving in and out of crowded parking lots. You will learn the limitations of the truck and work with them. My cclb superduty is a pain to park, but I drive up back and walk a little further. My obs cclb turned even worse, but I dealt with it. I have a school bus license, even though the tires turn like 60* at full lock (4x4 is limited by what angle the ujoint can operate at) and they turn like crap... I don't think you need to worry about a awesomely long rig.
If you do tandem rear axles like I want, it's still long enough to turn pretty good compared to a single rear. I say give it a whirl.

First Drive Dodge Ram T-Rex: Real-world 6x6 with A 26,000-Pound GCWR - Four Wheeler Magazine
I remember when this was new.
Was pretty cool back in the day. I tried finding more info on the rear axles but it's hidden pretty deep. The 4wheeler mag showed frame and suspension and transfercase.
As far as 4door supercab, you need to go the next step. Either portal axles and 54s or tandem rear axles or skip the supercab and add a sleeper, maybe a dually bed with super singles instead of dual wheels.
