Don, knowing what I know about your capabilities, I would strongly advise goatkiller to take you up on your offer.

I've been thinkin' that a guy could start with a S10 Chevy cab and cut the top off, leaving the windshield in place. An old-style bed could be cobbled up out of sheet metal and use a straight axle up front with a tractor grille shell. A small block Chevy is a shoo-in and a 9" from a late 70's Bronco would make the call to duty out back.
