Yeah it would be easier but I wanna do a low budget build. Idk if I'll get I yet it just came up today now all my creative juices are flowing. Like I was just thinking doing some have doors as the rear doors such on the cab and half trucks for a little storage. If I can get it real cheap I might just try it and if all else fail I got a lower mileage motor and drivetrain and a bunch of good parts. Bc it has had an easy life. Never offroaded. I think it'd be different so it may be sweet.

chop behind front doors and cut rear doors in half but leave them functioning. so you have little opening storage doors when you have the top over the bed.

I think you would be better off using the 4 door model to do the truck and make like an extended cab on it, rather than starting with a 2 door, because the doors on the two door models are longer than the driver door on a four door model.

There probably won't be a rear seat if he is doing this the way I have seen it done, so it won't matter.
