Beam Axle

Does anyone know of a van (fwd) with beam rear axle and leaf springs that has a track of around 75"? I am building a trailer and I need one.

renault traffic was/is FWD. not sure about the rear setup or the width though.

Have you considered using a live axle without the gubbins?!

Maybe a Peugeot boxer (or citroen equivilent). It would have a relatively large load rating and would be about the right width. Not sure whether it is leaf spring though.
