To lengthen the frame was a working step, already done by Dodge to convert the base of a WC-51 into a chassis for the WC-54 ambulance and radio car.

The frame consists of pressed steel channel section side rails reinforced by heavy cross members and angle braces. It has a longer 121-inch wheelbase with the addition of a heavy reinforcing plate riveted to the outside of each frame rail.

The Soviets did the same but extended it to 148 inch wheelbase. Easy job in theory.
