Welcome to the Blitz Addiction Corner. Being a lover of unusual vehicles, my choice would be Hanno's third suggestion of the "Indian Pattern" C8A. This would be "stand out" amongst other conventional Blitzs. You could do the coach building at your leisure whilst enjoying the truck in its current configuration. Besides which wood working is a lot easier that metal working.

I'm with Bob on this... just as you wouldn't want to butcher a perfectly good jeep to manufacture one of that ilk's fascinating variations, likewise a perfectly good HU. This, on the other hand, is an ideal platform from which to launch what would be a unique project!

The other option would be to try to find an intact HU which worth little more than scrap value, use what you can off it and the rest as a pattern to remanufacture a body. That route, you're going to have to reskin at a very minimum, which as Bob says, is a lot of work.

Or just drive it and have fun!
