is it gq? or mq??
if mq bubs has a full lot of weld on brackets for them.
if gq not sure the width of the chassis is it the same as the coill sprung trucks?? if so get a chassis rear cut and cut all the parts off and weld them back on yours.

I'm looking at a leaf sprung tray body but would prefer a coil so I thought maybe I could change it over, the other option I surpose would be to use a wagon chasis but apart from having to weld brackets for the tray I think maybe a coil cab chasis is a little longer than the wagon.
Appreciate some thoughts on this tonight if possible as i'm need put my hand up for vehicle or pass
