possible, reasonably hard to do. expensive unless you do it yourself

If Landrover had made these available as an off the shelf vehicle when the first D1 was introduced then I Imagine that they would still have a good share of the Mining/Farming Market instead of SFA as they have now.
Even the D2 was streets ahead of any other 4WD when it first came out and a Discovery ute would have been very popular.
I would Love one of these.

It would have more comfort and possibly be cheaper.

Has anyone done something like this?? or go any idea if it is possible/easy to do?

Thanks.

Welcome to Long Ranger 4x4 - Long Ranger 4x4

Longranger in the UK do a kit for 708 pounds sterling, see their web site above and they have a facebook page too.

I saw a D2 cab chassis at Cooma. Came from Victoria.

It looked great and was a really good conversion, but I think the tray will be too short for any campers to sit on.

You really need a long wheelbase to keep the weight form hanging out the back too much
