I have been working to convert my wagon into a flat bed. I chopped out 3 ft of the rear cargo area and stitched it back together. Still have a lot of little details to figure out but it is coming along.

Looks rad! There is an FJ60 truck bed conversion for sale locally with a widened mini truck bed on it.....I personally think it looks great, even though the body lines aren't perfect. Flat bed is definitely simpler, but the FJ60 front end with a truck bed is a good look. Thanks for sharing your progress, hope you continue to share more as it progresses!

This is super cool. are you doing any mods to the frame or keeping it leaf sprung?
It is currently a 3 link in the front on 12" coilovers and and a 4 link in the rear on air bags. She is sitting on 37" but with some final trimming should have room for 40's. Here is a shot before I got the drive train in and the frame painted.

I actually like those lines. I would be happy with that!
 
I love how you integrated the tailgate and hatch into the back wall. Real damn cool.
 
Looking good Trey! I really want to see that thing when it's rolling.

(I'm the guy that bought those steelies with Duratracs from you a couple years ago.)

Scrolling through those photos it really felt like there would be one with a belt fed machine gun mounted in the bed. That thing is super cool, and OP's project looks way more well done than this!

Ok, so i'm not the only one to think a certain piece of equipment was missing off the one with the p/u bed
