Will, you're killin' me here, Bro. I can help, and want to, but once again, the puddle is screwin' us. I have the cab and bed but with the cost of shipping you'd be better off to buy an entire new truck to get those parts.

I have trucks on order. But I would rather convert into versions of M35 trucks than split a complete truck.
But no worries about the shipping distance, I appreciate the offer again.

Many thanks Wayne I will pm my address :)

So not very tank related still but here is my inspiration for an M35 Military style rat rod. https://goo.gl/images/a7VyaF
I think the next logical step is to do GAZ one aswell with flat pickup.and slammed cab, but let's see how this works first.
I have found a proper metal axle which is.gonna look very cool. Thinking some truck wheels or truggy wheels and slicks with some airplane solid wheels up front. Now looking at cheap burago cars on eBay to see if I can pinch an engine to hide the motor which I think needs to be a brushless 540 and belt drive. Either that of go for 2x smaller motors and make them look.like huge superchargers.
Also Homebase do some great looking aluminium u channel extrusion which will make up the chassis rails.
Just sketching ideas at the moment, but military warfare theme for sure
