conversion... crewcab / cab n chassis info needed

I've been searching for a way to make a crewcab conversion here in CALIFORNIA, in lieu of the smog laws.. IE any gas crewcab newer than 1975 needs a smog check every two years.

Diesels are exempt all years.

SO, I've been searching for pre 1975 crewcabs but they're few and far between and REALLY in need of a frame off ground up resto... and since I'm looking to make the truck family friendly and good enough to rival a 3rd gen, I need the best start I can get...

SO my question is...

Does anyone have a chassis cab dodge diesel like these :

and do you know what the wheelbase is ?? will it fit a crew cab and long or short pickup bed on it like this ?
