Default Butchery.

After six years owning driving and maintaining my 1993 V8 Discovery pig, id have to say im pretty happy with it. Sadly i live by the ocean, and the salt air is not kind to it.
so I'd like to rebody It, with an old pickup cab.
Does anyone know of any examples, I'm sure it's been done.
I know where there is a 53 or 4 Dodge cab...

I have thought about cutting the back off, two or four door pickup. Most of the rot is in the rear, and I'm over cutting it out, which I seem to be doing all the time. I may end up taking it off the road and dedicating it to off road only. Govt going to start charging more for running a "big" petrol engine, and I want to keep it.
The hot rodder in me wants to put an old truck body on it.
I'm just exploring options for now.
