Crapgame has a great suggestion. If you build a front-engined 247, you can have your choice of 4x4 pickups and can get the wheelbase exactly correct. As he suggested, don't do anything unless you plane on doing it right. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Get a good running gear setup so you can...

Keep an eye on eBay. I have bought them there before. All kinds of great optics show up.
