Cut the back off and put a flat top on?

Is yours just in the rear around wheel arches (like mine) if so I was going to use the back cut of a swb s/t to "bob" the rear with the benifit of getting rid of the rust as well.
Just a thought.

I got mine (rust free) off ebay with a lwb chassis for $100.

Alternatively it wouldn't be that hard to stretch a swb to lwb if you can get sheetmetal folded up.
