IMO ^^^^ this keep it simple !Understand where ya coming from, but I would go with 78 79 setup with redhead steering gear. More Retro than Prius ( which I know would handle it
) but redhead closer to stock
. Or I could talk to someone or give contact info. He owns my 78 flatbed plow truck

I had 78 F250 on 36s back in the day turned them with out issue even aired down. can't say how it would be with a locker they weren't a thing yet

36s were considered huge back then !! Like monster truck status. I remember them well Armstrong True Tracks on aluminum Turbine wheels.
I was only 19 and I bought the truck new.
