You might not have too much difficulty transforming an old box camera into some sort of a view camera. I doubt that you are going to have any luck converting a rangefinder though.

Maybe the front half of an old folding camera could be used for this too. It occurs to me that Kodak made a few cameras in obsolete formats that amounted to large format film on a roll. These are generally very inexpensive now, since the film is so hard to come by. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to build a new wooden body that can take a sheet film holder, and attach the bellows, lens/shutter and rail mechanism from one of these cameras to it.
