Default Wheelbase stretch

What would it take to stretch the wheelbase to fit either the Pro-Line Ford F-150 4-door or the HPI F-150 4-door? I know the Pro-Line shell has about a 14" wheelbase.
I am trying to make a scaler of my 1:1 F-150 Super Crew.
Thanks for any and all help.

4 link or Leafs?

If it's is a linked rig, longer links.

If it is a leafed rig, a longer chassis.

I have 1:1 f-150 Supercrew as well. I think the rear is leaf the front is shocks and springs isn't it? People seem to use a fair number of the HPI bodies on the x-trail chassis'd scorpions. I guess the biggest problem would be overhangs more than wheelbase.

Sorry for the confusion. I am planning on using an Axial ax-10 base. I was wanting to know hwat is the easiest way to stretch the wheelbase of an ax-10 a couple of inches.
