The gears are always churning

So, I have had this idea about the independant front 4x4 like the Aerostar has. And as we are walking around the junkyard I find an Expedition that has been rolled. It runs good and I can get it cheap. The track width is a little wide, 72 inches outside so that is a little of a problem Unless I can redrill the hubs for some earlier wheels with a more favorable offset.
Now I am usually the first one to discourage frame swaps but I still can't help thinking how a fridge body would fit that chassis. It has torsion bars so you can get it pretty low, I like a pickup I can work out of and not have to crawl up in the bed after things.
