He wants to remove everything from the rear, except for one axle. The
one rear axle would sit under a front suspension from a donor vehicle.
So, you would have a truck with 2 axles, both hanging on by front
suspension springs, hangers, etc.

Hmm, you could put two front axles on for 4 wheel steer....
