I'm looking at buying another Mitsi Truck to use its cab as a donor cab for my old horse truck. The trouble is I'll have all the running gear from the new truck left over.

What would you do with a surplus 2.8L diesel truck with everything intact except the cab (mind you the rust ridden cab from the other truck would be available)?

Go ahead inspire me!

The biggest baddest homemade dune buggy the world has ever seen?

Might have to get creative with some welding gear

Set it on fire and try and drive it up Nick Smith's arsehole.

Build a hot rod. Then do a skid.

Why the hell don't you just use the new truck, and find something to do with the old one? :scratch:

You should probably use the parts of the truck to.... build another truck!!

I know, I'm so imaginative I think I could be an artist or some shit.

shorter wheel base and smaller motor are 2 good reasons
