Way too long, but might be easier to put on a burb, their wheelbase is 129.5"

Vans are unibody I believe. Or are Chevy the exception?

I have a '91 "burb" but its 2WD only
I wanted to put it on the K5, its on 35" tires and a 10" lift
would've been an awesome van

Pretty good read on a van 4x4 conversion without swapping a frame under it.
