The question is, WHY? if someone wanted a truck won't it be easier to just buy a truck instead of doing all that work to make a shorter wheel based truck.

i saw something almost exactly like this before but it was done to a 79'.

I had a 73' International Scout that had a half top and bed wall you could remove then put a full top on. It was pretty cool. That would have been cool if it was removable.

For 1200 it might be worth it assuming it wasn't just completely trashed.

That, at least for me, would be an ideal hunting setup. I don't really want the added wheelbase, and I have no use for 5 passengers while hunting. For that price I would have jumped on it.

i just got back, today i went and bought it, paid $800 for it, you should see some of the rigging on this thing, i'll post up pics later, its my 2nd 69 k5....i think i may convert the permanent 1/2 cab to a 2wd hot rod, then i'll have a good frame for my other 69 k5
