If you can weld I would suggest doing it yourself, there's a lot of great help on here and with that frame you're gonna have to do all the mounts and tabs anyways. This way you'll get what you want and it's easier to change stuff around. You could order all the crossmembers and mounts and just build your own rails. That's part of the fun anyways.
Check out Brians link here there's enough info to get ya going.

This sort of deal is always a challenge to the "do whatever you want" crowd. Or, "don't worry what other people think, be different". Yeah, whatever. Each of those have a cost that most don't address. I'm with the other guys so far, if you've got the skill make your own frame to fit the body properly. Otherwise, there're LOTS of repops that will work and ultimately be cheaper than trying to make a pig look better by putting lipstick on it.
Here are some examples of what the car could look like: first, on a Deuce frame, second full fendered on a stock style frame, and last, an S10 application that makes what you've got not look quite as bad (just to cheer you up a little
)

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
