LWB Sierra options

I have a 1985 LWB Sierra that I hate.
The fibreglass roof and back I hate - I love the beast, it goes anywhere.
What I want to know is do I have any other body options?
Can I convert it to a tray back ute - it looks like the back is integral with the front - not separate so I would either have to cut it or drop a new ute body on the chassis??
Is there such a thing as a good fibreglass roof and body ? - one that doesn't whistle and creak all the time?
Thanks

No cracks or anything - it's just that the windows are HUGE (read that as look ugly) and the cab roof mouting is loose so it keeps whistling.
I could fix it but I'm looking at all my options before I decide what to do with it.
Before I took it to Fraser I was selling it - then as I drove around bogged 4x4s and bounced over wash outs it occured to me that it aint that good on the road but it sure can hold it's own off road.
As the bigger trucks pumped fuel from 44s and I just waved my oily rag over the tank, it occured to me that it might be worth keeping - just for the fun of it.
But if I'm going to keep it I have to make it a lot more comfortable on the road - I use it as a daily driver.
Yes Id sell the glass back and cab roof cheap if I could get a really good replacement.
