    If I owned that I would cut the top half of the body off and drop a bus body with floor over it. Put panel over the engine area that could be remove easily because the seats would face inward against the walls. with the bus body you could still steer from the middle bt have 2 doors up front to load people into the bus or you could have a separate entrance in the back for passengers but if you do that leave a way to unload passengers through the front in case of being rear ended.

    I have always wanted a stolly, but I talked myself out of it last time because 6mpg and no diffs and got a 101FC instead. But this, its already abused and broken. It needs axle work. It needs axles with diffs so you dont have to do all that bouncing off kerbs crap when roading. It needs swim gear because whats the point of a stolly if you can't drive into the local marina and freak everyone out... I have no idea how I'm currently resisting tracking you down and pushing 3 grand in your hands for it. Must be strong. Must be strong...
