Troopy body -> 80 series chassis?

[RoddQLD]

Has anyone ever seen a 45/47 Troopy body adapted to an 80 series chassis?

Any links or photos of this conversion?

Funney you should ask that
I was contemplating a few months back putting a troopy roof (from bottom of window line) on my 80 series.
WHY? so i could get that pop up camper modification
WHY NOT BUY A TROOPY THEN? So i could still have the comfort of the 80 series and the suspension flexability.
Gone off that idea again price inhivitive(not worth the spend)

I really like that second link nows theres food for thought

or throw 80 series coils/diffs under a troopy.

works well under a 40

I was planning to do just this. Or lengthen and widen my SWB body to go on the 80's chassis and diffs. Now I have decided to fit a 45 ute cab to the chassis.

Check out my build up link in my sig line. I have just started to put the chassis and front clip together for some measurements.

I was up at the local wreckers last week and have purchased a troopy body complete with hardtop, another set of doors, windscreen frame and two 45 ute cab tubs for 300 bucks.. Pick them all up this week I hope..

Once I finish the Ute conversion I think I will build the wagon version.....
