With a little looking you could also find one with a Cummins 6 or the 7.3 liter V8 for more power. With any of them you get the heavy frame, axles, transmission, and cooling systems to start. Don't like the body, the aluminum body has scrap value. Think of it as a street legal tractor.
With 14-16' behind the drivers seat you have space for a small galley and double 30" bunk beds. (I keep thinking about a cross between a 'teardrop trailer' and a small sailboat galley.) Want to park in a grassy field after a rain. Find a limited slip axle. The 16" wheels make it easier to find heavy rated mud tires. Then shorten the frame to fit cargo.
