Suitable donor chassis for a Dutch steam van

[richrua]

Hello. I am considering a model of a Dutch steam van. Are there any suitable shortish chassis that might suit ? I plan to build the body myself but a suitable chassis would help.

I used an old Lima parcel van to make a rough approximation of a Dutch van a couple of years ago. It was just a straight respray with an added grille on each side. I think the chassis is around the right size, but the bogies are all wrong.

However the original Lima wheels are a bit rough. It would probably be easy enough to buy the correct bogies and scratchbuild a chassis.
