Ok...... I suppose anything is possible, but can you please face reality? It ain't happening. But it would be pretty darn cool.....

Drag cars, monster trucks, and motorcycles are the only vehicles I know of capable of wheelies. And only motorcycles on the street.

Wheelie requires extreme power to weight ratio, a good weight balance front to rear, and extreme amount of traction. Two of those three cant be had in a pickup truck.

mik23lik Welcome to and the Bumpside Forums.

Rather than a dream you might be looking at a nightmare.

If you can't pull the wheels off the ground going forward, do it going backwards.

HAHA! I was thinking of exactly the same thing.

Or how about this?

See where the engine is sitting in the van? Well behind the front wheels, you can see the white headers underneath. So if you want to mount your engine in the bed as far back as possible then you might have a chance of making this happen.

Which would at once be "kinda out there" and 'thinking inside the box.'

Sorry, couldn't resist.

You can still build one hell of a truck. Swap in a 500hp 460, run some 37" mud tires. Axles from a SuperDuty.
