This is a somewhat rhetorical question, trying to avoid the obvious answer of anything is possible with enough money.
I've done quite a bit of work on my 200, getting it set up as a great camping rig. Hopefully before LCDC, it'll be relatively "done", not that any rig ever is. I live in California and don't plan to move, so that's not the answer I'm looking for. Based on the moderate wheeling I've done, I've experienced some suspension failures, blew out a KDSS shock and I'm currently dealing with a BP-51 problem. I really like the 200 engine, interior, etc. but modifying the suspension for more aggressive wheeling and reliability would be very involved at this point, but what if...
If... IF... BIG IF, I were to look at doing a wholesale graft of the suspension, transmission, and frame (as necessary) from an 80 series, is that at all an option? Or better to look into a custom SAS/sawzall modification? This is mostly for discussion, but you never know.
