Lots of Tahoe projects on this board. For a long bed, a Suburban frame could probably work. The Sub wheelbase is 130" or 3" longer than a 67-72 long bed trucks wheelbase and 3" shorter than a square body long beds wheelbase. Zero rates could be used in the rear to adjust wheelbase and mounts could be put on in the appropriate places.

But that truck frame is going to be WAY too long wheelbase wise at 143.5". The 116" Tahoe wheelbase is perfect for a shortbed 67-7 which stock wheelbase is 115".
