I've always thought an early 4-runner (with a removable cargo-area top) would make a great home for an OM617. Others have done it, so you wouldn't be totally reinventing the wheel (I didn't have time to peruse your list of links - one or more may be to a similar project). 2WD Jeep Cherokees or Comanche pickups make a great home for the OM617 too - though if you want 4x4 it gets a little more difficult ...
