    Disco body on a Deefer Chassis

    Is it possible to put say a DII body onto a 130 chassis? Make it a ute at the same time? I"m thinking possible in terms of dimensions and proportions.

    I would have throught more people would want the luxury of a Disco body with the practicality of a large cab chassis like a 130.

    Or would it be easier to just extend a DiscoII chassis by 30inches?

    anythings possible, but would be easier to convert a Disco.

    I don't think the D2 chassis is strong enough to extend.

    probably why these guys put an extra wheel in the middle to hold the chassis up
    (Oh yeah, I just noticed they arent D2's )

    I have pics somewhere on my PC of a D1 that had a chassis extension and was converted to a trayback ute. I published them in an article in the LROC News a few years back.
